Summary of Special Board Meeting
The Elliott County Board of Education met on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 to consider how to safely resume in-person instruction. After discussing the concerns expressed by various stakeholders, the Board voted to continue virtual instruction at least until school employees have received their second COVID vaccine, which should be around February 18th. The Board also instructed principals and teachers to work next week to schedule more structured, face-to-face, small group instruction beginning the week of February 8. Staff from each school will be reaching out to families to make arrangements for students to come in. Social distancing and masks will be strictly enforced during all interactions.

Elliott County students will resume virtual instruction on Monday, January 4, 2021. Return to in person instruction will be dependent upon the color-coded COVID incidence rate map. A call will go out to notify families on the Friday prior to in person return. We hope you each have a safe and happy new year!
