More than 200 West Nassau High School students were quarantined last week after roughly 20 classmates tested positive for COVID-19, the Nassau County School District confirmed Tuesday. “West Nassau did have around 20 students test positive, which resulted in just over 200 students being quarantined,” Assistant Superintendent Mark Durham told News4Jax in an emailed statement. According to figures provided by the district, the district saw 41 new positive tests last week, 34 of them among students. Because of that, 346 students and six staff who had close contact with the infected individuals were placed in quarantine.

YULEE, Fla. The day after the Nassau County School Board unveiled its reopening plan, questions remain for educators and parents alike. The plan details three options for elementary (Pre-K-5) and secondary (6-12) students: brick-and-mortar school, school-based distancing learning and Nassau Virtual School. Jamie Vinneau, president of the Nassau Teachers Association, knows the state left local counties without a lot of time to prepare. For courses not available through schoolbased distance learning, students may take the course through Nassau Virtual or Florida Virtual School. Students who chose Nassau Virtual will withdraw from their traditional school and switch their enrollment to Nassau Virtual.
