After weeks of handling the business of the school district virtually, the Clayton County Board of Education board will meet in person Monday.
The 6 p.m. meeting will be held in the boardroom of the district’s administration complex, 1058 Fifth Ave. in Jonesboro.
Residents may attend, but will be asked about COVID-19 status and required to complete an information questionnaire. They also must submit to a temperature check.
Like several districts in metro Atlanta, Clayton began the second semester with virtual classes because of the highly transmissible omicron variant of COVID-19. The school board followed suit, holding meetings on Zoom calls.
As infection rates lowered, districts returned to face-to-face instruction in late January, with Clayton maintaining a mask mandate in schools. Visitors to the Monday board meeting will also be required to don face coverings.
