Coronavirus Concerns Close Schools – Stop High School Sports

Recent announcements from Governor Roy Cooper has closed schools until mid-May – leaving local school officials scrambling to implement on-line learning for a 6-8 week period. Laptop pick-ups have been the new normal and teachers, administrators and office staff have re-geared to a new learning approach on the run in an effort to keep the school year on a schedule and hold a graduation in June. Gov. Cooper stated finishing the school year and holding graduations was still expected but that the final schedule will be determined by the coronavirus status.
