CHCCS To Offer In-Person Instruction in March Following New State Guidance
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools will be returning students to the classroom ahead of schedule following new guidance from the state health department and State Board of Education.
Thursday night, CHCCS’ Board of Education voted unanimously to move up its hybrid learning model to March 22. The district initially planned to allow for some in-person learning beginning April 19.
The board voted to return to in-person learning noting current vaccination efforts and positive trends in the county. The current test positivity rate in Orange County is .9 percent. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the Centers for Disease Control, recommend a 5 percent positivity rate or less for school reopening.
