It is now the 18th of July and there have not been any new updates.
Through the grapevine from a few teacher friends, it is rumored that school may not be starting on time because of the buildings not being ready. Is there any truth to this?

School will start as scheduled. Some of the areas at the high school will not be available the first days. Mr. Tobias has developed room schedules in anticipation of this reality.
