Schools in Gwinnett County are opening for digital classes on Aug. 12, but in a controversial decision, employees are still required to show up in person.
In response to Newman’s resignation, Gwinnett spokespeople told local media that opportunities to work from home were “very limited” but that the school board would “continue to make adjustments to ... a very fluid situation.”on July 20 after previously offering both in-person and digital learning for students and their families to choose between.
“There is no replacement for face-to-face instruction, and that was our preferred model for next year,” Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks said in a news release on the district’s website. “With that in mind, we offered parents an option between in-person and digital instruction in order to be responsive to their wishes for their children.”
“However, out of an abundance of concern for our students, families, and employees, we made a very difficult decision based on the increasing number of COVID-19 cases we are seeing in our county, as well as the concerns that have been expressed by our teachers, parents, and others in the community,” he explained.
Wilbanks added that this was “not the beginning of the school year we had hoped for; however, it was a possibility we planned for, knowing that keeping students and staff safe had to be a priority.”to superintendent Wilbanks, the Gwinnett County Association of Educators, a nonprofit representing teachers in the district, asked for the start of schools to be “delayed until health departments and scientific data indicate a significant slowing” of COVID-19.
