The Roanoke School Board still must decide whether elementary and designated secondary students can attend school in person four days per week beginning next month.
After hearing a detailed proposal Tuesday, the school board unanimously decided to hold a special meeting Wednesday to allow public comments before making a final decision. The meeting will be held 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at William Fleming High School.
Those wishing to speak may register by calling 540-853-2381 before noon Wednesday or in person at Fleming before 5:15 p.m. There will be no virtual comments accepted because the equipment to allow that was not available for rent on the short notice of the specially called meeting, a school spokeswoman said.
