LA GRANGE, Ky. — Oldham County Schools will move to an A/B schedule for middle and high school students that choose to attend classes in-person during the start of the 2020-21 school year.
In a letter to parents, Superintendent Greg Schultz said he was concerned with class sizes due to the lack of students signing up for the Virtual Learning Academy. The A/B schedule would divide students alphabetically by last name.
Students in the A group will attend school Monday, Wednesday and Friday one week and Monday and Wednesday the next week. The B group will go to class Tuesday and Thursday during the first week, and then Tuesday, Thursday and Friday the next week.
Schultz said each group will attend classes for 10 days out of ever 20 school days each four weeks. Students will be given assignments for days they are not in in-person class.
Elementary and preschool students will remain on their normal in-person schedules. Schultz said the district will move from an A/B schedule to a traditional schedule as soon as it can.
At the end of each trimester, families can change to the Virtual Learning Academy if needed. Schultz said the district does anticipate virtual learning will be available for the entire school year.
