South High Senior Living opens KCS unveils reopening plan for 2020-21 By Ken Lay
Knox County Schools unveiled its reopening plan at the board of education’s regular session meeting Wednesday at the Andrew Johnson Building. While the schools will open, the school year won’t begin as scheduled. Classes will begin on Aug. 17, a week later than expected and KCS Superintendent Bob Thomas urged parents and students to be patient when things finally get going. “I’m asking all of our stakeholders for grace. It’s not going to be perfect on the first day,” Thomas said. “I wish it would be perfect, but it probably won’t be.” Although schools are slated to open, the plan, which was released prior to the meeting on the KCS web- site and on its social media outlets, includes a virtual learning option. Parents and students wishing to participate in remote learning must enroll in the Virtual Learning Program by Wednesday, July 22. Students who select Rick Dover welcomes everyone to the opening of South the remote learning option must remain in the program High Senior Living.
