Though most parents and staff have signaled a preference for virtual education in the 2020-2021 school year, Clayton County Superintendent Morcease Beasley said Monday he hopes students will eventually be able to have in-class instruction.
The district leader said having in-class instruction would track with expectations from Gov. Brian Kemp and President Trump.
“While we may start virtually, our goal is face-to-face ASAP,” Beasley said in a tweet early Monday.
Beasley announced last week that the district was leaning toward a virtual-only school day when school begins in early August.
The Clayton Board of Education will meet Monday to decide whether to open Aug. 3 as planned, or move that date back a week to give teachers and staff time to prepare for a virtual program.
