Nevada Schools Plan For Fall Semester

Face masks, spaced out desks and half-empty buses: Things will look different when students from throughout Nevada return for the 2020-2021 school year. As Nevada experiences an uptick in confirmed cases reported daily, both rural districts with less than 100 students and urban districts with hundreds of thousands are forming reopening committees responsible for envisioning what school will look like when students return for the fall semester. The Washoe County School District said it plans to release more “granular” information at its July 7 meeting, but like Clark County, will allow parents to choose whether to send their children back to school or enroll them in a completely remote learning program.
