NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-After a schoolyear that was far from ordinary for North Platte Public Schools students, district officials have announced an updated plan regarding COVID-19 and the return to school next year.
On Tuesday, school officials informed parents of their current plans for the 2021-22 school year, when students return in the Fall.
Officials are encouraging all staff and students who are eligible to get vaccinated. Officials asked those interested in getting vaccinated to contact the West Central District Health Department for details.
After making masks optional for the last few days last year, officials plan to continue to make masks and face coverings optional, provided the community risk dial remains in the Green or "low" risk level.
Additionally, the schools will no longer offer the option for students to learn via remote learning. Officials encouraged students to return to the classroom for in-person learning.
The plan is fluid and officials said it could change as information and circumstances change.
