A q-and-a on coronavirus

Oconee public schools released a question-answer list this morning on what is now is considered a world pandemic–the spread of the coronavirus.  It comes with the following qualification:  “Due to the rapidly changing situation, these answers may change at any point.”  Here are some examples: “Q. Do you plan to close schools for an extended length of time? A. Any decision to close schools will be made in consultation with DHEC, the SC Department of Education and the Governor’s Office. At the current time, SCDOE has not recommended closing schools Q. If schools close, will there be any e-learning like other districts do on inclement weather days. A. That decision would come from the SCDOE and the legislature.  We would anticipate they would work with local districts in a similar way as when we miss more than normal days for weather issues.”
