SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Suffolk Public Schools Superintendent Dr John B. Gordon III will be hosting a Facebook live on Friday on the reopening of schools.

The Suffolk School Board voted on February 11 that the first group of students whose families chose in-person learning will go back on March 15.

Special Education students will be in class four days a week. Pre-K to fifth-grade students will also go back on March 15 on a hybrid model two days a week. Sixth grade through 12th grade will return on March 22, also on a hybrid model.

Division officials said during the Feb. 11 meeting that they will need about three to four weeks to adequately prepare for students to return in-person, which fits the timeline set by Governor Northam to have students return to a form of in-person learning by March 15.
