Richland Co., SC (WOLO) — All Richland School District One teachers and staff will work from home tomorrow Wednesday January 20, 2021.
Games and practices have also been canceled for the day. A spokesperson for the district tells ABC Columbia News, the decision was made out of an abundance of ‘caution’ and ‘concern’ over safety as the presidential inauguration takes place. This change will not impact students who have already been using an E-learning model since winter break because of a rise in COVID-19 cases. Students will continue to use this model of learning until January 29, 2021.
