Clayton County Schools is planning three upcoming virtual meetings to help residents learn about plans for the 2020-2021 school year.

The meetings, the first of which will take place at 1 p.m. June 23 on YouTube Live, will include updates on a Virtual Learning Academy that will be part of the new school year as well as school choice, graduations and information concerning a recent parent perception survey the school system initiated.

The other meetings will take place in July but have not yet been scheduled.

Clayton Schools will open for the 2020-2021 school year on Aug. 3. Like many districts across metro Atlanta, it is still fine-tuning how it will conduct classes and transport students while trying not to expose anyone to COVID-19, which shuttered school during the latter months of the 2019-2020 academic year.

The district said the virtual meetings also will allow parents to submit feedback on plans and indicate reopening preferences.
