“In person learning will be suspended for all students in the Pearl River County School District beginning on August 16 due to the increased spread of the COVID virus in our schools and community,” the Pearl River County School District Relaunch Plan, revised today, now says. “The suspension of in-person learning will go through August 27 or September 6.”
For the second time this week, the Pearl River County School Board is holding a meeting at 5:30 p.m. to decide how long virtual schooling will last. Board members punted on quarantine plans during the last emergency meeting on Monday, but did reinstate a mask mandate after starting classes without them.
Despite an all-time high of 4,412 new COVID-19 cases reported statewide today, Gov. Tate Reeves insisted in a tweet today that “there will be no lockdowns and there will be no statewide (mask) mandates”—despite warning from hospital leaders that the health care system is on the brink of “failure.” Despite mandating masks in schools statewide last year, the governor told WLOX’s Dave Elliot today that such decisions will be up to local leaders.
