Public school students in Spotsylvania County will continue learning virtually from home through March 1.
The School Board voted Tuesday evening to delay a hybrid in-person option for another month, citing critical staffing shortages, high community transmission of COVID-19 and a desire to get staff fully vaccinated.
As part of the boardâs decision, special education students, including those with autism, intellectual disabilities and developmental delays, who had been attending school in-person will also start learning virtually beginning Feb. 1.
The board approved Berkeley representative Erin Gramppâs motion to remain virtual until March 1 on a 4â3 vote.
Chairwoman Dawn Shelley, Battlefield representative Baron Braswell and Salem representative Lorita Daniels supported Gramppâs motion. Courtland representative Rabih Abuismail, Berkeley representative Kirk Twigg and Lee Hill representative Lisa Phelps were opposed.
