A St. Louis school district is using a summer program to test an in-person school model for the fall — including social distancing, strict mask protocol and an alternating day schedule.

When school resumes in earnest on Aug. 24, Jennings will offer this alternating-day schedule along with a fully online version, a combination that administrators hope will keep capacity at just 25%. Business teacher Marc Reid volunteered to come back to school and teach:"Since we have a lot of safeguards in place, it made me feel very comfortable in doing so." Tables in his computer lab were spread as far apart as possible, with just one computer on each table.
"Sometimes I pull it down to scratch my face and forget to pull it back up," said 13-year-old Curtis Grisby. In regard to mask and distancing infractions, Superintendent Art McCoy said it will take time to develop habits around the protocols.
