On July 14, Governor Cooper announced that North Carolina public schools will re-open for the 2020-2021 school year under Plan B, which requires moderate social distancing and a combination of in-person and remote learning options. Some requirements under Plan B include:
- Cloth face coverings for all K-12 students in school and on buses, and for teachers, school staff, and adult visitors. Five reusable face coverings will be provided for every student, teacher and school staff member.
- Limited number of students, staff, and visitors in a school building to the extent of maintaining six feet distance
- Symptom screenings
- Cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces
- No activities that bring together large groups
- Established process and dedicated space for people who are ill
Educators were surveyed on July 14-16 for their preferences regarding three possible re-entry options for our schools (see below). Parents were surveyed earlier. Dr. McDaris will discuss the survey results and re-entry plans for Transylvania County Schools.
Option A
Students attend school on an A/B schedule (student body is divided into two groups). Group A would attend Monday and Wednesday; Group B would attend Tuesday and Thursday; Friday would be remote learning for all.
Option B
Students attend school on a weekly schedule. Students are divided in two groups and rotate through one week of in-person learning and one week of remote learning.
Option C
Students attend school on an A/B schedule (student body is divided into two groups). Group A would attend Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday would be remote learning for all. Group B would attend Thursday and Friday.
