      fyi The JICHS Board of Directors voted to follow the CCSD Safe School Restart Plan that was approved by the state department. The first day of school will be September 8, 2020. We apologize for the technical difficulties that occurred at the last board meeting. Having multiple remote devices on Zoom in the same room caused communication issues. The next JICHS Board of Directors meeting is on August 17, 2020, at 8:00, am via Zoom. At that meeting, the board will review the health metrics from DHEC and the recommendations from local medical experts (doctors from DHEC and MUSC) and vote how JICHS will start the school year, either in a temporary remote start and in a hybrid model (AA/BB).
