More metro school districts phasing students back into classrooms Monday

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — A few local school districts will phase students back into the classroom Monday while others are close to bringing almost all students and staff back.

Channel 2 Action News This Morning has been going through district plans county-by-county.

In Fulton County, some students who opted in will go back to school Monday. Phase 3 of the district’s plan is for those students to attend one full day per week, which determined alphabetically by last name.

The rest of the phase-in plan will continue until mid-October when the district hopes everyone can return. Remote learning is an option all school year.
