County schools to bring more students back for in-person learning

More students will be returning to in-person learning at Pittsylvania County Schools (PCS) beginning next week, as the Pittsylvania County School Board approved a staged approach to allowing more students in the buildings.Â This approach, presented to the board by Superintendent Dr. Mark Jones is based upon new guidance from the Virginia Department of Health regarding the opening of schools. One of these new guidance items, Jones said, is reducing the physical distancing requirements to 3 to 6 feet, if other mitigation strategies such as mask wearing are being followed.Â With evidence that students are not performing well remotely, Jones suggested a staged approach to allowing more students in the schools, as well as on buses, based on three-foot physical distancing.

First Black tobacco buyer from Southern Virginia discusses being a Black business owner in Danville

DANVILLE, Va. â From age 5 to age 20, Edward Ed Hairston lived through the Civil Rights Movement in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Now a small business owner on Riverside Drive, Hairston reflects on a life of entrepreneurship and forestalling prejudice in the hopes of accomplishing one immutable goal: to better the lives of those around him. Hairston was born Nov. 21, 1948, as the seventh child of eightÂ to the late C.P. and Mary L. Hairston. The spark of entrepreneurship was ignited during his early days in Pittsylvania County Schools, when Hairston would ride the bread truck to schoolâbuying bread for a nickel and reselling it for a dime.

Certain Pittsylvania County students to attend classes four days per week

Pittsylvania Career and Technical Center (PCTC) students will soon have the opportunity to attend classes four days per week, as the Pittsylvania County School Board voted to allow for the school to operate under âPhase IIâ of the schoolâs re-entry plan. In its current phase, the plan requires that all students attend a minimum of two days per week, and students with transportation have the option to attend four days per week. Phase II would require four days of instruction per week for PCTC students.Â In a presentation to the school board, PCTC Principal Jessica Dalton and Director of Career and Technical Education Angela Rigney stressed the current deficits in lab hours and instructional outcomes, as students do have clinical or other hours they must meet in order to meet Virginia Department of Education competencies or Danville Community College competencies, of which there have not been waivers for.
