Bexley City Schools Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Miller recommended that Bexley City Schools begin the school year with full distance learning for the first quarter during the Bexley Board of Education meeting Thursday, July 30, 2020. This distance learning is for all students and provided by Bexley City Schools teachers. Earlier this week, Dr. Mysheika Roberts of Columbus Public Health and Mr. Joe Mazzola of Franklin County Public Health advised that based upon the case counts, positivity rates, and trend data central Ohio schools open the year with all students in distance learning.
Dr. Miller also presented the final Back to School plan to the Bexley City Schools Board of Education, which was drafted with the input of the BCS Reopening Task Force, the Bexley Education Association, and local public health experts. The plan includes options for all students in person, all students distance, and a hybrid of the two. The board of education will vote to approve these plans during the August 4, 2020 meeting.
