What will school look like next year?
In-person students will still be expected to social distance when possible. Elementary students will stay 3 feet apart while older students will distance by 3 feet or 6 feet, when possible, depending on community transmission.
The plan means masks will not be required for students and staff when physical distancing is feasible. Pre-K and kindergarten students who repeatedly play with, suck on or chew on masks will not be required to wear them.
Students will no longer have to pass daily temperature checks but families should keep sick kids home. The school district will continue to work with the Knox County Health Department to identify people who are exposed to a known case of COVID-19.
