Kristy kelly, parent "lawrence county doesn't have enough subs as it is so i assumed that it was because too many had gotten it and just couldn't find enough subs," kristy kelly is a mom of 6 lawrence county school system students.

And this is what she told me when she recieved an all-call from the school system monday afternoon explaining moulton and east lawrence middle schools would be moved to virtual starting tuesday... "i know that they're trying their best but for a first grader you can't teach a first grader how to read, virtually," lawrence county superintendent dr. jon bret smith told me the number of staff members in quarantine caused the classroom teacher shortage so middle schoolers picked up chromebooks to start virtual earning today through the next several days.

But kelly told me the decision to move students to virtual learning yet again is causing a strain on her family.

"my older ones are struggling with depression because of everything going on," already shot the superintendent told me he will be re-evalutating those cases at the end of this month...and they're hoping and expecting students to be back in the classroom by monday november 2nd.
