King William County Public Schools, one of the few school divisions in the Commonwealth of Virginia that opened the 2020-21 school year with the option of in-person learning during the COVD-19 pandemic, has experienced much success with in-person and virtual learning. After KWCPS launched its opening in September, a Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) staff member visited the division’s schools to see firsthand the new processes and procedures put into practice for both 100% virtual learners and in-person learners. The staff member noted the division’s hybrid learning instructional model as evidence that a quality educational experience can be provided to students in multiple settings, even with the restrictions in place. KWCPS has shared its ideas and reopening processes and plans with other school divisions including Nelson County, Essex County, New Kent, and Middlesex County. Essex and Middlesex also sent representatives to witness the hybrid learning instructional model in action.
