The Springfield district recently posted a plan for what school will look like this fall, and it resembles life prior to the ongoing pandemic but, with extra precautions.
For example, masking is expected to be optional, not required, except on school buses.
Free COVID-19 testing will be available to symptomatic students and employees, either at school sites or a central location.
Schools will host vaccine events for eligible students and provide details about clinics to families.
Physical distancing, handwashing, and regular cleaning of facilities will be emphasized by staff and reinforced with signage.
Stephen Hall, chief communications officer, said all districts including Springfield were required to develop and post a Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Service Plan by late June.

The Springfield district recently launched a search for the next principal of Parkview, its third-largest high school.
The departure of Eric Ramsey following 11 years at the helm marks the complete turnover of all Springfield high school principals in a three-year period.
Ramsey s direct supervisor, Ron Woodard, sent a note to parents May 27, the final day of classes, noting the exit of the longtime principal. I wanted to let you know that the role of principal of Parkview High School will transition at the conclusion of the current school year and a new principal will be named for the 2021-2022 school year, Woodard wrote. We thank Dr. Eric Ramsey for his service to Parkview over the past 11 years and wish him well with his plans for the future.
