Florida Department of Education Approves Manatee Country Reopening Plan

Government

Late Tuesday afternoon, K-12 Chancellor of Public Schools Jacob Oliva sent Superintendent Cynthia Saunders an email announcing that the Florida Department of Education has approved the Manatee District's Reopening Plan for the Fall Semester of the 2020-2021 school year. 

"I am pleased to report that the plan you submitted provides each of the required assurances," Oliva wrote in the email. "As such, your reopening plan is approved, effective immediately."

Superintendent Saunders was excited to receive the good news. “We have been working hard for months to provide a plan to our students, parents and employees that would not only meet the state’s requirements, but also provide options that address the different needs expressed by all of our stakeholders,” Saunders said. “I want to thank all of the parents, employees and citizens who sent more than 26,000 responses during our reopening plans survey, and all of our principals, teachers and support staff for their hard work in making these plans possible.”
