Elementary school students in Lake County returned to school on Monday to find their classrooms set up a little differently.
See-through partitions made with PVC pipes and vinyl separate students when sitting at their desks to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.Timothy Totten serves as the managing partner of Final Embrace, the local business hired by the school district to build the barriers. “We hired more than 50 temporary employees for this project alone,” he said. “So far we’ve made over 3,000 of this barrier.” Totten told News 6 they are still in the process of making around 900 more barriers for the district.
