School officials also said classrooms or clusters of students could always be placed back into the distance learning models if COVID-19 transmission rates grow or if staffing needs make it necessary.

All students, staff and visitors will continue to be required to wear masks in all Loudoun County Public School facilities, including buses, officials say.

Students and staff will also continue to be required to complete the school system’s symptom tracker each day before being allowed to enter their buildings.
