Knoxville’s ABC News affiliate reports:
Anderson County will welcome their students back starting on August 10, but that will not be the same starting date for every school and grade. Ryan Sutton, Anderson County Schools communications/public relations coordinator says it will be a staggered start for various grade levels.
Social distancing efforts will be in place for classrooms, hallways and cafeterias. Other safety precautions in place include temperature checks for staff and students before entering the building, educating students on proper hand-washing and sanitary measures, and extra sanitary measures for classrooms and bathrooms.
Masks will not be required inside of the school, but are encouraged when social distancing cannot be achieved like one-on-one instruction. Masks will also be provided to staff and students who want them. However, when it comes to buses–students will be required to wear one to and from school.
AGAIN: here is the DEATH WAIVER that ANDERSON COUNTY schools – and likely others – are having parents sign.

CLIP: THE ANDERSON COUNTY INJURY/DEATH WAIVER @TimTparrott of @aschooltn claimed this waiver was for “Summer Athletics”: https://t.co/k0eTiq0ow8
It mentions “summer” and “athletics” zero times.
It says “all” kids, and “every child every day”.

It gets worse: @ACSchoolTN is still making teachers come to school even if they're exposed to Covid. If they show symptoms, they supposed to quarantine for three days before coming back to work and wearing a mask. This is going to get people killed unless we stop it. #strikenow pic.twitter.com/evnamAuE6B
