Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation is one of them, and starts a new school year Friday.
Superintendent Jim Roberts said the mask policy could change if local metrics get worse. The main goal this school year, Roberts said, is to keep kids in class. We re hoping that we re in school no matter what – that we are in-person learning five days a week, all day with all of our students, he said.
Roberts said other COVID-19 precautions the district has put in place, including social distancing in classrooms and limiting how many students gather in hallways or the cafeteria, will continue regardless of what mask policies look like.
It s that time of year. You are stocking up on pencils and notebooks as your kids get ready to say goodbye to summer and for students attending school in the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, the start date may be different than their friends start dates.
Last year, amid the Coronavirus pandemic, the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation made the decision to start students back on a staggered schedule in hopes of keeping students as safe as possible amid an ever-changing health landscape. And while many parents, teachers, and other personnel have received their Covid-19 vaccines, we as a community, are not fully out of the woods yet.
A retired nonprofit executive, Miller agreed to fill the position after the museum s development director Jalessa Slade left for family reasons.

Miller is an Evansville native who returned to the city in 2017 after retiring from his career in nonprofits in Los Angeles. He served as director of Goodwill Industries of Southern California and worked for nonprofits for employment training and homelessness. We have some great new exhibits, he said of the museum.
