The Douglas County School Board voted to approve the district's 2020-2021 school reopening plan earlier this week. 

Elementary, middle and high schools will all offer hybrid learning models where students will attend classes in an 'A/B rotational schedule' - half in-person and half digital learning. 

In a letter, Superintendent Keith Lewis also says, due to the school enrollment, capacity, and staffing, George Whittell High School and ASPIRE Academy High School may be able to accommodate full 'in-person' learning for all grade levels.

As part of the unanimously approved plan, Superintendent Keith Lewis also said that all staff members, visitors, and students will be required to wear face-coverings in buildings, buses and school property. 

DCSD buses will operate at up to 50% capacity. 

Lewis ends his letter saying that he believes the "DCSD Reopening Plan reflects what is best for students of our district and the needs of our community, which is to allow them to return school within current guidance, while at the same time making every effort to minimize the risk."
