Archdiocese updating school reopening safety protocols as COVID-19 cases rising in area
Officials in the Catholic Schools Office of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington are re-evaluating, updating and adapting their school reopening plans in light of the recent spike in new cases of the Delta variant of COVID-19.
“We really went to work on this (a 2021-2022 school reopening plan) in April and produced the opening plan in early June. Schools presented their plans to our office by the end of June, but now we are looking at some modifications because of the Delta variant,” said Christian Buchleitner, the assistant superintendent of School Operations and Student Services for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.
