COVID cases top 1,800 in Volusia, Flagler schools, state says
The report from the Florida Department of Health includes cases reported at private schools.
On Friday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its existing guidance to say teachers don t need to be vaccinated for schools to reopen safely, and reinforced its recommendation to socially distance. This has been difficult to achieve in Volusia County, where the majority of students are learning in-person.
Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said in a statement that districts should stay the course they began in summer 2020.
The number of new cases is appearing to slow down from a peak earlier this year. In January, the Volusia County school district reported about 500 cases of COVID-19 in public schools and Flagler reported about 100.

As filmmaker and writer Nora Ephron said during a 96 commencement address at Wellesley College, Your education is a dress rehearsal for a life that is yours to lead. If that s the case, high school may be one of the greatest dress rehearsals of all.
It s a place where students explore their interests, dive into extracurricular activities, finally get the freedom to choose their own classes, and prepare for college or the workplace. For many of these students and their families, public education is key: 56.4 million students enrolled in public elementary and secondary schools in 2020; and there are almost 24,000 public high schools in the U.S., according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
