The School Board unanimously OKed submitting a wavier to the state to start classes in 100% virtual instruction and transition to the previously developed Return to Learn plan when COVID-19 conditions in Polk County allow for safe, physically distanced in-person instruction.

Does anyone know if the @IADeptofEd employees are working from home? Would be interesting for someone to make the decision that students return to in person school from their living room. Ya know, cause it’s not safe for them to be in their office. @CharlesFlesher #iaedchat

@AdrienneBranden I tell my students’ parents to give themselves grace. They only need to do what’s right for their family. When working with my students, their social emotional well-being is at the top of my list, then content.
