The V.I. Dept. of Education via release has provided updates to its in-person learning plan, including staggered return dates, and the department has also provided Covid-19 testing schedules for students per district. The department recently fielded heavy criticism for what some contended was the department's abrupt announcement that all students and school-based employees must provide a negative Covid-19 test before returning to campus, which was scheduled for January 24 for all students. Since then, D.O.E. has altered its return dates ranging from Jan. 24 to Jan. 27.
