The Marion Center School District also approved their health and safety plan for the next year, and for now, the district will go with a staggered approach to school attendance.
The plan approved last night will have kids coming every other day to school, and Superintendent Clint Weimer said that the rosters will be divided by the alphabet, so that the schools will have 50 percent of the students in class on any one day. They hope to later in the year go to 100 percent in-school attendance, but they will continue to follow state guidelines concerning school attendance.
As far as masks go, students will be allowed to remove masks when they eat and at their desks, provided that social distancing guidelines are followed. All other times, students will be required to wear a mask in the hallway.
The district also approved a change to the school district calendar to delay the start of the school year until August 31st. Weimer said that for the week before the 31st, teachers will have several in-service and training days.
