November 17, 2020 – Decatur Public Schools have announced it will follow the guidance of the Macon County Health Department and remain with virtual learning until at least January 15th.
“Throughout this entire pandemic, protecting the health and safety of our staff, students, and community has been our top priority. We continue to monitor the health and safety of our entire community as we make decisions on when it will be safe for students to return. As we approach the Thanksgiving and holiday season, I implore you to please take every safety precaution you can – wear a mask, wash your hands, stay home as much as possible, and as difficult as it may be, avoid gathering with people from outside your own household” said Dr. Paul Fregeau, Superintendent of Decatur Public Schools.
DPS administration says they continue to work with principals, teachers, and staff to plan for a return to in-person learning in the future. An announcement was expected on December 4th about plans for third-quarter learning. No word on if that will be pushed back.
