The District’s priority is to ensure a safe learning environment for in-person learning, and we will follow the guidance of the TDOE regarding instruction next year. As we did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the District will offer the option of Memphis Virtual School (MVS) as part of school choice. Unlike the current LIVE synchronous instruction, the MVS model is centered around asynchronous learning (independent study). You can learn more in these fast facts. |
