Districts Make Plans To Reopen Schools

More than 100 in colbert county.

A state task force is meeting this week to figure out what the start of school will look like for students in alabama waay31s sierra phillips is live at the madison county schools district office.

Sierra, how are districts preparing for fall?

Most schools districts we spoke with say they're preparing for multiple options as they wait on direction from the state superintendent.

The dekalb county school district plans to have kids back inside schools by early august.

Superintendent jason barnett told us plans can change - depending on what the state recommends.

But right now they're still working on hammering out some of the specifics, like how kids will social distance.

One parent told us she's ready for her kid to head back to school.

This is something we are going to have to deal with from here on out and i think we might as well start school back and just jump right in and take it from there.

The district is also working to get personal protective equipment for students and staff superintendent barnett added he expects more students will enroll in the dekalb virtual academy next year - which gives students the option to take classes online.
