This is going to be my first year as a HS teacher in rural western KY.

The school board voted last week 4 to 1 for in-person classes with a virtual option for parents who don’t want to send their kids back. I am definitely worried about starting face to face instruction.

I accepted the job in the beginning of May and have been incredibly excited, but I didn’t not expect the covid situation to still be this bad come the end of august. I haven’t actually signed the contract yet because I’m moving down from out of state. I don’t trust the school board with my health so I’m really not sure what to do.

Anyway, I just thought I would post here and see what some people living in KY think about this. Thanks for reading!
