Students in Hall County are gearing up to return to school for in-person class instruction on Friday.
Superintendent William Schofield, who heads the Hall County Schools District that has approximately 28,000 students, says he’s excited about the first day of school.
“I’ve never felt that there’s a greater need for boys and girls to be in school to be getting those supportive relationships and to be moving forward based on what they’ve been through the last year and a half or so,” explained Superintendent Schofield on Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look.”
The veteran educator told show host Rose Scott that the district has looked at the data and has had 19 months of on-the-ground experience navigating the pandemic—and will remain rigidly flexible when changing practices.
“We will start mask-optional, and we will watch the numbers,” said Schofield.
