Layered mitigation strategies are in place to ensure our staff and students remain safe and healthy and our schools remain open. However, should Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) in collaboration with the Virginia Beach Department of Public Health (VBDPH), Virginia Department of Health (VDH) or via Executive Order determine that one or more classrooms, a school building, or the division must close temporarily to protect to the health of students, staff, and community or to address staffing issues due to quarantine, the following plan will be utilized. (The plan is based on current understandings; changes based on the reality of each closure will be made as prudent.)
