According to a WV Metro News report, in the same county where the first COVID-19 case was confirmed in the state, schools will remain closed for the rest of the academic year.

 

Jefferson County Schools announced their “Stage III” closure following Gov. Jim Justice’s Stay at Home order.

 

“As fellow Jefferson citizens, we are committed to weathering this crisis together under that order,” said Superintendent Dr. Bondy Shay Gibson in a letter to families. “We will continue to provide the educational and wellness services remotely that we have been providing throughout this ordeal such as tutoring, online meetings, and phone conferences. However, at this time we will no longer be able to provide any face to face services.”
