BCPS keeps online option ^/HAT’ S NEXT?
for extended absences !«*«**:
SHELLIE SMITLEY

The Burke County Public
School system expects to keep
its online option open although
it intends to hold classes face-
to-face beginning in August.
“What the intent is here, we
don’t plan to have synchronous
learning going on every day,”
Administrative Coordinator
Wayne Hickman said. “We do
intend for the teachers to make
use of their Google Classrooms
and have the content and work
available for students to access
should they have to be out for
any extended period of time.”
Children who are sick will
have access to their work via
the online platform that Super
intendent Angela Williams said
has become routine.
“We don’t want to throw it
out, certainly,” she said. “So,
any situations where students
are going to be out, we want
them to be able to stay on
top of what is going on in the
classroom.”
Keeping an up-to-date
Google Classroom plan is a
good “what if” considering
the uncertainty attached to the
pandemic.
“It helps us prepare for that
possible day when we have to
quickly shut down the face-to-
face.,” Hickman said. “If we
have that kind of an ongoing
thing in the background, it
won’t be as big as a challenge
as when we went out in March
2020.”
BCPS is in discussions about
whether participating in the
Google Classroom platform
will be counted toward being
in attendance.

State changes driver license requirements for teens
The State of Georgia began
requiring 16-year-olds and
17-year-olds to complete a
safety course before they can
obtain drivers licenses effec
tive July 1.
The Georgia Department of
Driver Services will not issue
Class D licenses to anyone
under 18 years old who has
not completed the required
training.
“Joshua’s Law,” also known
as House Bill 466, mandates
teenagers under 17 years old
must complete 30 hours of
classroom instruction at a DDS
approved school and six hours
of behind the wheel training
and 40 hours of supervised
driving with a parent or guard
ian.
Alternative training includes
30 hours of classroom instruc
tion at a DDS approved school
and completion of the parent
teen driving guide that includes
40 hours of supervised driving.
Students may elect to com
plete the classroom instruction
online.
The new law exempts
17-year-olds from the class
room instruction and six hours
of road training but requires 40
hours of supervised driving.
