Blue Ridge Schools to Take Adaptive Pause Out of Winter Break

A DeWitt County School district is joining a growing number of schools to go remote for a short time coming out of the winter break.

 

Blue Ridge schools announced today (Thursday) they will be using the first week back from winter break to go full remote. Superintendent Dr. Hillary Stanifer told Regional Radio News on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday they plan to bring students back in in-person on Tuesday, January 12.

 

 

As the district gets set to begin their winter break starting next week, the COVID situation is starting to escalate in the school. According to Dr. Stanifer, this is as bad as they've seen it through the first semester with students and teachers in quarantine or testing positive. 

 

 

Dr. Stanifer indicates they have been very close to moving to remote learning for the rest of the semester but they are doing everything they can to keep as many kids in-person as possible. She emphasizes their staff and teacher's union is asking for consistency in decision-making.
