The Cobb County School District will start the spring semester Jan. 6 with more than half of its students returning to class in-person.
About 54 percent of its families, representing 57,504 students, selected the face-to-face option using the district’s online portal, the school system said. About 25 percent of those families, representing 26,787 students, have said they will stick with remote learning.
However, families representing 23,039, or about 21 percent, did not indicate whether they will have their children do remote learning or return to the classroom, so they will have to inform their individual schools of their choice, the school district said.
In the spring, the district said it will open another opportunity for parents to choose if they want to finish out the school year in a remote or in-person environment. Details about that process will be released at a later date.
Cobb County schools, which has about 107,000 students, began the academic year Aug. 17 with virtual-only classes. The district began a phased reopening of its classrooms in October.
