Operative words

Elementary students: full-time in-person learning; middle and high school students: hybrid model (alternating in-person and distance education); start date August 17, 2020; district claimed compliance with Governor Sisolak's mask and distancing directives; distance learning available for families opting for full-time remote enrollment. Washoe County Health Officer Kevin Dick recommended against reopening, citing the 'high potential of the virus spreading to students and faculty' (report, Jackie Valley, Aug. 7, 2020).
