Ok. What about parts of Wake County where cases are lower? There's actually more spread in rural counties lately.

Wake is one of those weird counties in which where you live (urban, suburban, rural) doesn't accurately determine where your kids will go to school. Case in point: kids in suburban NE Raleigh being zoned out to decidedly rural Rolesville High.


Plus, based on how they've done weather-related closures in the past, I don't think they can officially make declarations for parts of the county but not others.

They certainly could if they wanted to.

If the Diocese of Raleigh can close two schools that have outbreaks and leave the others open for in person learning, WCPSS can do the same thing. Other school districts in other states have done it . It is not complicated. They choose not to, and everyone must suffer. Reminder high schoolers have not been to school in over 10 months.

Last fall, Cooper gave the flexibility to all districts, be they rural or otherwise, to choose to move to plan A for K-5. https://governor.nc.gov/news/public-...entary-schools

Also, the counties in the Triangle area, including Wake, currently have lower metrics than most of the other counties in the state, and I think that’s been the case for a while.
https://files.nc.gov/covid/documents...tem-Report.pdf
https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/dashboard...y-alert-system

Whether or not or when or how Wake should reopen on plan A for K-5 is debatable obviously.

Did all the middle schoolers make it back in for a rotation before winter break?

Yes, but 4th/5th grades had cohorts with only 4 days in person.

I was wrong - same #, but the 2nd was from the school. Through Twitter,they clarified this morning they decided to use the word "remote" for everything. Makes no sense to me, but there you go.

no mention that Cooper extended all restrictions and the 10 pm curfew until Feb 28? Maybe it's in the Covid thread. Anyhoo, I think we can all write down Mar 1 as the absolute possible first day of going back to actual school.
