Accomack County Public Schools
Lead ITC

I am the Lead ITC for Accomack County - a smallish rural district on the Eastern Shore. We have 11 schools, three on islands. One of those schools is in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay and you can only get there by plane or boat. It is the smallest K-12 in the Commonwealth with only 53 students total. We have about half our students fully virtual and the other half are hybrid, coming to school M/W or T/Th. Internet access is a challenge, often simply because of location.
