Vote on back-to-school plan expected Tuesday

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Guilford County Board of Educationwill meet Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock to talk about and vote on the reentry plan.

A number of scenarioshave been brought to the table which includes in-person classes, virtual learning, and a mix of both. 

Not all board members agree with some of the suggestions made. 

Vice-chair of the board of education, Linda Welborn, said she's concerned about the scenario that brings children K-8th grade back to school, and high school students to learn virtually.

"I do have a problem with the high schoolers not having any face-to-face time so I’ve been working submitting other options other suggestions," said Welborn, "I’m hoping that Guilford County will come up with a different model that may suit their needs as well as the high school needs."

A discussion at a previous board meeting also brought up the idea of potentially including 9th grade in that in-person scenario, but only if the schools had enough room. 

Board member Khem Irby has a rising junior herself and understands the concern for high school students.
