JACKSONVILLE. – If the Duval County school district’s final reopening plan is approved, the first day of school would be moved back to Aug. 20 -- 10 days after the originally planned start date.
READ: Full plan from Duval County School Board
According to the plan the benefits of pushing back the start date are that it would provide the Operations Department additional time to prepare workspaces with PPE and added protective measures and it will give teachers another planning day before school starts.
The school board is expected to vote on this plan Thursday. It will then have to be sent to the state department of education by next week ahead of the July 31 deadline. As of now, this plan calls for elementary school students to start back in the classroom five days a week. For older students, it’s more staggered.
While elementary school students would attend their assigned brick-and-mortar school every day, middle school students would go three to four days a week and high school students would attend two days a week.

Secondary students could return to the classroom five days a week by Sept. 17 if the local COVID-19 status allows for a safe full-time reopening.
Duval HomeRoom Distance Learning is still an option for families who aren’t ready to send their kids back to the physical classroom. Those students will still be enrolled in their assigned school and will have the option of returning to that school throughout the year.
Duval Virtual Instruction Academy is available also and is what families will follow if they decide to stick with virtual learning throughout the school year.
Under this plan, teachers would return for pre-planning starting Aug. 12.
