The school board is set to have a special meeting on Tuesday.

Last month, the board decided to have Pre-K through 3rd graders return to school four days a week starting Monday.

The board is set to review conditions to make sure its still okay for students to return. If it does, the school system says students and staff will wear masks at all times.

For plans for fourth graders through seventh-graders, the board will meet next week.
