In October, Fairfax County Public Schools announced that “Group 5” (kindergarteners, students in the Head Start program and pre-K program, and select special education students) would return to in-person instruction, joining the four preceding groups which includes students in the preschool autism class, Early Childhood Special Education, some special education students, and specialized career prep programs.

Then, on November 16th, one day before kindergarteners were supposed to begin in-person instruction, the district announced that there would be more delays. Because the number of positive cases per one hundred thousand people was above two hundred, Group 5 was unable to return. The following day announced that students would return on November 30th at the earliest.
