The Columbia County School District will not offer learn-from-home options for elementary students during the 2021-2022 school year. All online learning will take place through the Online Learning Academy.
The Columbia County Board of Education announced its decision to offer only face-to-face learning next year at its meeting Tuesday night.
The board also discussed the continued decline in the numbers of COVID-19 cases in the schools. The school district reported 75 new cases last week. Twenty-one schools reported no employee cases.
