Many families in Atlanta are preparing for the return of in-person schooling, with precautions established by the local regulatory bodies in place to ensure continued safety and health. Parents and educators alike are treading an uneasy path as they balance the risk of COVID-19 with the developmental and socio-emotional needs of their children.
Back-to-school preparations this year stand substantially different than previous years. The new practices and guidelines involve increased sanitation measures, reduced class sizes, redesigned school layouts to maintain social distancing, mandatory mask use, and varied.
School buses serve as a critical link between students and their schools. This year, transportation committees are working tirelessly to implement new guidelines aimed at curbing transmission on school buses.
The plans, still in development, propose changes like assigned seats, capacity limits,, and enhanced cleaning schedules. There’s also a proposal in place for temperature checks before students board the bus.
As schools plan to reopen amidst the pandemic, the latest trend of coronavirus cases in Georgia is under heightened scrutiny. Authorities are closely watching for any potential surge in cases that could impact school reopening plans. The state remains committed to comprehensive testing efforts and contact tracing to control the spread of the virus.
Furthermore, in honor of Black History Month, local communities in Georgia are actively engaging in celebrating and educating everyone about the rich Black history and culture. Schools are incorporating lessons about prominent Black figures and events into their curriculum and local sites of historical significance are offering tours – all within the required safety measures.
Due to unprecedented global events, many content and services have shifted online. This shift, however, has led to issues of accessibility. Some web users outside the United States, including those in Georgia, have experienced a blockade in their ability to access certain websites, particularly some news sites. This has raised critical questions about digital accessibility, digital divide, and net neutrality in a world increasingly relying on the internet for basic services and information.

Community members are urged to rely on these trusted local sources for news, information, and updates. They provide an approach to understanding the current state of affairs that is rooted in the context and intricacies of the community.
