In response to “county health metrics”, Allegany students had the Monday following Thanksgiving off and the remainder of the week’s classes were held virtually. Allegany County Public Schools will announce tomorrow if students will be returning to the classroom next week, according to their website.
The school district started the 2020-2021 academic year with the hopes of gradually rolling out a hybrid model where students attend class in-person some days, and others are attended virtually. However, a little more than a month after this transition began, the county was already returning students to a completely online environment following a staff shortage and a rise in the number of cases, according to several press releases.
