DeKalb Schools Will Offer In-Person, Virtual Options In 2021-22

DEKALB COUNTY, GA — DeKalb County School District will offer both in person and virtual school again next year.

The district said it will offer in-person learning five days per week for all students and expand its FLEX Academy to include middle- and high-school students for the 2021-22 academic year. FLEX Academy is the district's virtual learning platform, which is normally only available for students in ninth through 12th grade.

This fall, middle- and high-school students both will be allowed to enroll in core academic and elective classes through the program, which is connected to each student's home school. Superintendent Cheryl Watson-Harris told the school board Monday the district is excited to offer both learning options next year and that feedback from the community is welcome.

Regional superintendents in DeKalb County Schools will host virtual town hall meetings at 6 p.m. April 27-29 to gather feedback from parents and students for the upcoming year. The first day of class is Aug. 2. Links to the meetings can be found on the district's website.
