Following in Prince William County's and Manassas City's footsteps, Fredericksburg City Public Schools (FCPS) will be completely virtual in the fall.
During its June 23 meeting, the Fredericksburg City School Board unanimously approved a plan to begin the school year with 100% virtual instruction for at least the first nine weeks of the year, beginning August 17 and ending October 16. All students will be participating in this plan, even those who are English-language learners and participate in alternative education programs.
The plan comes after the city's school board changed course, having initially proposed a hybrid model in which students would attend school both in-person and online various days during the week.
