At a special called board meeting Friday, board members decided that grades 6-12 will have in-person instruction Monday through Thursday. Fridays will be asynchronous.

Students K-3 are already operating under Plan A. Fourth and fifth graders will return to Plan A on March 15.

The decision comes a day after North Carolina elected leaders finalized a directive that will put more K-12 students in classrooms five days a week by telling all districts to offer in-person instruction no later than early April.
