School Board: All grades will return under Plan A

Under authority granted to them by the “Reopen Our Schools Act,” members of the Wayne County Board of Education voted 4-3 to send all students, K-12, back to local classrooms. Board chairman Chris West and board members Len Henderson and Patricia Burden voted against the measure.

Families are, however, still allowed to keep their children in the state’s mandated all-virtual setting.

WCPS’ K-5 students returned under Plan A this morning, but sixth- through twelfth-graders remain in the state’s hybrid learning model.

That will change March 29, as the board voted to bring students back to campuses five days a week beginning that Monday.
