WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Williamsburg-James City County Schools announced all students will return to virtual learning starting Tuesday, December 15.

The division addressed the rise in cases and states that the percent positivity rates are at 8.2% for James City County and sits at 11.8% for Williamsburg.
WJCC Schools said that all students will return to remote learning until at least January 8.
