Heyworth Schools Leader Ecstatic With Start of School

A rural McLean County school district is back to class and their leader says the kinks appear to be worked out and it is starting to feel normal.

 

Dr. Lisa Taylor is the Superintendent of the Heyworth School district. She says masking and social distancing have not been an issue. Additionally, they are making sure they are cleaning thoroughly and after hours are dedicated to preparations for any remote learning mandates that may come forward.

 

 

Around ten percent of Heyworth students are participating in remote learning. Dr. Taylor indicates kids that are doing in-person learning are being welcomed each day by a renovated building. While it isn't reaching its full potential because of social distancing, it is exciting for the kids.

 

 

Dr. Taylor believes everyone is glad to be back and reiterated her desire to keep kids in school as long as they can.

 

 

Heyworth student went back to school last week. Dr. Taylor says they will have to take any positive cases of COVID on a case-by-case basis but did not believe a small number of cases would have to lead to any shutdowns of school.
