In a special called meeting Thursday the Russell County School Board approved the recommendation of Superintendent Michael Ford to start the school year virtually for students. Ford spoke to WAVE NEWS following the meeting...
The school board heard numerous options for students whose parents do not have access to the internet at their home. As of right now the school system doesn't have the Google Chromebooks that were ordered a couple of months back. Ford said this could cause a delay in the start of the school year until they are received.
