Northam Announces All Virginia School Divisions Open for Full In-Person Instruction

Governor Ralph Northam announced that as of this week, all of Virginia’s 132 school divisions are now open for full-time, in-person learning. Northam’s office says schools working diligently to implement recommended mitigation strategies while also navigating quarantine protocols following positive cases among school members. Last week the Virginia Department of Health issued guidance on “close contacts” for K-12 settings that is expected to result in fewer and shorter disruptions to in-person learning for students and staff.
