The Fairfax County School Board voted unanimously on Tuesday to begin bringing back students for in-person learning for two days a week, starting on February 16. Within a month, all students in the county would move to hybrid learning and partially return to classrooms.

Over the course of the fall, the school district repeatedly rolled back plans to teach students in person as the virus surged.

But as of January 25, more than 7,000 staffers had received their first vaccine dose, and nearly 90 percent of staff had scheduled appointments, according to a presentation to the board.

This decision comes even as teachers have reported delays and cancelations while trying to get vaccinated before resuming in-person learning. Thousands of appointments were cancelled due to changes in the state’s distribution strategy, although many were later rescheduled.

FCPS reported that 65 percent of staff have received their first dose, according to NBC Washington.

Parents in the school district have complained that virtual learning is slowing down their children’s progress and leading to depression and anxiety, and some teachers have echoed their calls for a return to the classroom.

Meanwhile, the Fairfax Education Association has argued that school re-opening should depend on all teachers being vaccinated. A representative for the union did not immediately reply to phone calls.

In D.C., kids began returning to schools today, despite an ongoing dispute with the Washington Teachers’ Union over the safety of bringing students and teachers back to campuses.

According to the FCPS plan, individual classes could revert to virtual in the event of an outbreak or if a teacher needs to quarantine. Here is the full schedule:
