Below is a running list of district plans and mandates for the return to school next week that we will be updated as they are announced.CMSD was one of the first districts to announce it will switch to remote learning for the first full week of 2022.
Garfield Heights City Schools announced students will return to in-person learning on Jan. 4, with students and staff remaining masked at all times, until at least April 1 to minimize the risk and reduce exposure to the coronavirus. "We want learning environments to continue, but at the same time, we do want them to be safe. And that's why it's such a critical time right now because there are so many other health care needs out there right now beyond COVID," said John Palmer, the director of public affairs for the association.Governor Mike DeWine said during his Wednesday afternoon press conference that he has no plans of introducing a statewide mask mandate.
