School Board to Central Office: Make Plan A happen for K-5

The Wayne County Board of Education voted 5-2 to direct Central Office staff to find a way to make Plan A happen for K-5 by the beginning of second semester. Under the plan, those students who opt in will attend school four days a week and social distancing would not be required in the classroom or on school buses.

Board members Jennifer Strickland, Wade Leatham, Joe Democko, Chris West and Tommy Sanders voted for the measure.
