GOSHEN COUNTY – Following new guidance on COVID-19 precautions from the Wyoming Department of Education, Goshen County School District No. 1 Superintendent Ryan Kramer said students probably won’t return to their classrooms during the 2019-2020 school year, which ends May 26 – and is aiming for a return back to normal in the fall.
“That really is highly unlikely,” Kramer said on Monday. “We’re hopefully optimistic for the fall. That would be when we return to ‘normal.’”
It’s important to note that school is in session and the days – grades – do count, even though the district has moved its curriculum online for the remainder of the current school year.
The exception, Kramer said, is the district’s high needs population. With the county health officials blessing, it’s possible that groups of one or two students and a teacher could utilize face-to-face instruction, with the proper precautions taken to help curb the spread of COVID-19. A nuanced-evolved opening, Kramer said, could be an option for some special education students.
