17.9% of Virginia school districts provide full in-person learning

(The Center Square) – Virginia school districts that offer in-person learning to all grades made up 17.9% of the total as of Feb. 22, the 34th highest share among all 50 states, according to an online instructional tracker developed by the American Enterprise Institute.

Among the remainder of the Virginia districts, 70.7% were classified as hybrid, while 11.4% had fully remote instruction, according to the instructional tracker, which was created in partnership with Davidson College.

Fully in-person districts are defined as allowing students in all grades to have in-classroom instruction. Hybrid districts provide in-person instruction for only a portion of each week or only certain grades. And fully remote districts mandate online instruction for all grades, with the exception of some small groups.

Those operating the tracker tool said the project aims to gauge the 8,500 districts’ reopening plans and how they are changing as the COVID-19 crisis evolves.
