DeKalb County has announced its plans for the upcoming school year, saying all students will be in-person unless they opt out and saying mask wearing is optional for vaccinated individuals.
“All students will be scheduled for in-person instruction beginning August 2, 2021,” the district announced. “The District will offer family virtual learning options, which means the student will not participate in in-person instruction. The virtual learning options allow students to learn from virtual teachers through FLEX Academy , Georgia Virtual School , or designated virtual teachers throughout the school district.”
