CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Students in West Virginia will return to the classroom in August, but the schedule will not be traditional.
Members of the West Virginia Board of Education discussed guidelines for reopening schools in a meeting Wednesday.
The guidelines include three scenarios, none of which include a traditional five-day a week schedule.
According to the guidelines, scenario one is preferred for elementary schools. Under that scenario, schools would operate on a four-day school week. Students would be kept in core groups, with resources brought into the classroom. Students would also eat meals in their classroom. Congregating areas, including cafeterias, would be off limits and outdoor classes would be utilized.
Scenario two is designated for high schools and possibly middle schools and would be a hybrid-blended model. In the meeting Wednesday morning, the board said some schools could have in-person instruction four days a week, while others schools could hold in-person classes just two days a week, with the rest of instruction being virtual. After going into executive session Wednesday afternoon, Superintendent Clayton Burch says the board is not looking at any two-day a week models now. Instead, they are focusing on "creative scheduling."
The third scenario would consist of all virtual learning, This scenario would likely only be utilized in a state of emergency issued by the Governor's office.
The board says students could be required to wear masks on buses. They are also considering requiring an extra adult be present on each school bus to conduct temperature screenings and windows on the buses may need to be down.
Field trips will likely not be scheduled and visitors may not be allowed in schools.
Officials say decisions on guidelines will be made within the next month.
