Virginia schools not likely to meet 5 days a week goal

School districts across Virginia have no timeline on when students could return to in-person instruction five days a week.

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (FOX 5 DC) - School districts across Virginia have no timeline on when students could return to in-person instruction five days a week.

While most schools across northern Virginia started phasing in students for in-person instruction this week, FOX 5’s Tisha Lewis reports a Fairfax County Public Schools administrator says until restrictions on social distancing are loosened, it’s unlikely K-8 students could return to full-time, five days a week, in-person learning, despite President Biden’s 100-day goal.

Loudoun County Public Schools says it will discuss specifics when the School Board meets again on Tuesday.

In Arlington, K-8 students in the hybrid model will attend school in person two days a week starting in March.

No word from any school district on when this could matriculate to full-time.
