YORK COUNTY, Va. - York County Public Schools is considering the return of virtual learning as COVID-19 cases surge.

On Thursday, York County schools released a COVID-19 update stating the division remains confident in their mitigation strategies in place at their schools. School officials say as expected, community transmission rates are affecting both staff and student attendance rates. They say these attendance rates are not sustainable.

During Tuesday’s school closures, their staff worked to prepare for potential shifts to virtual learning. They have not made the switch just yet, however, if they continue to experience the same level or higher absentee rates, the division says they will be forced to adjust course.

The division has not made a final decision yet to shift any classes or schools to virtual, but families should prepare just in case.

1. My kids attended (and graduated from) York County Schools..I did not

know that they were considering virtual again. I think it is a good idea until the amount of virus in the area decreases again.
