Sevastopol School District has only had four positive case of COVID-19 in the last two weeks, but dozens of quarantined individuals are forcing a change. In a letter sent to parents on Friday, Sevastopol will go back to the A/B Model it used the first two weeks of the school year until at least October 30th when the first quarter ends. This means the school will be at 50 percent occupancy with two groups of students attending in-person classes and learning remotely on alternating days. The school board made the decision after 53 students were forced to quarantine because of the four positive COVID-19 cases. The hope is that by operating at 50 percent capacity, there will be more room to socially distance, fewer people will have to quarantine if there is a positive test, and allow students more opportunities to learn in-person.
