“In addition, this presentation will highlight the many accomplishments made during this school year and offer a preview of future plans as efforts continue toward successful navigation through the COVID-19 pandemic,” the statement said.

Clayton Schools switched to remote learning the first week of the second semester because of a spike in cases because of the coronavirus’ omicron variant. The district has since returned to face-to-face instruction, but Beasley has warned that continued high viral spread could lead to classrooms, schools or the entire system reverting to remote learning.
