Ohio school reopening guidelines will be flexible,
DeWine says
Columbus
Dispatch
Less than two months from the traditional start of the school year,
local districts are weighing options for reopening schools while they
wait for state guidelines on how to keep students and staff safe amid
the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The 2020-21 school year is likely to
look very different among Ohio’s more than 600 school districts as
educators plan for online lessons, in-classroom learning and a
combination of the two for the state’s 1.7 million students... The
governor said the guidelines will offer wide flexibility and no
surprises for local school district officials who ultimately must
decide when and how their students return to school while minimizing
the spread of COVID-19.
