While no students will be able to attend a physical classroom in Palm Beach County at the start of the school year, the school district will allow teachers to bring their own kids along.
According to a letter sent from school district leaders to staff members, the option will be available to teachers who return to their classrooms to conduct their virtual lessons.
The district is encouraging all teachers to use their classrooms and Deputy Superintendent Keith Oswald says the district has received several messages from teachers who are also parents of school-aged kids, and they're struggling with child care options.
The district says there will be tight protocols in place for the supervision and movement of children on campus, and principals will monitor the program.
The Palm Beach County school year begins August 31st with distance-learning only.
