Solon Schools Plan Full In-Person Return For 2021-2022

SOLON, OH — The Solon Schools will implement a full in-person model for the 2021-2022 school year.

All students should be in classrooms during the next school year, according to a report to the Solon Board of Education. Families in the district should have received a mailer from the school system discussing plans for 2021-2022.

A virtual option will be available to students who prefer that mode of education. Solon Schools will contract with Edmentum's EdOptions Academy to offer remote learning, however there will be no simultaneous teaching via Zoom in Solon classrooms next year.

Families have until June 14 to submit their 2021-2022 Next Year Surveys.

Transportation opt-in and daycare transportation forms were emailed to families. Completing the forms allows the Solon Schools Transportation Department to begin creating bus routes for next year.

The statewide average of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents is now 49.5. Gov. Mike DeWine originally said he would lift all health orders when the state reached the 50 cases per 100,000 residents plateau, before shifting course and removing all mandates a few days early.

For comparison, from late November through mid-December, Ohio averaged 939.1 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents. Ohio had not fallen below 50 cases per 100,000 residents since June 2020.
