MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Students of Martinsville City Public Schools are headed back to the classroom on Monday for the first time since last March.
Martinsville City and Halifax County Public Schools are the last districts in our region to bring students back. Not all students are returning yet.
Only pre-k, kindergarten, students with special needs and students who are learning English as a second language will start in-person learning on Monday. Superintendent Dr. Zebedee Talley said those are the kids who are the most challenged by virtual learning.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – After months of virtual learning, Martinsville City Public Schools are planning to reopen their doors.
On March 8, preschoolers, kindergartners, special population students and English Learners will be able to return to in-person classes.
“I want everybody back in school too but we want it with the caveat we want them back safe,” Martinsville City Schools Superintendent Zebedee Talley Jr. told 10 News earlier this month. “I don’t want to be on the fence of waiting and trying to decide who I’ll let get sick. One person sick is too many people sick for me.”

MARTINSVILLE, Va. A public school system in Virginia will become the first school division in the state to have a gunshot detection system in all of their buildings.
An official with Martinsville City Public Schools said Monday that the school system received a $200,000 award to complete the project.
The official said last year that the school system received about $100,000 in funds from the state and other sources for the detection system. But it wasn’t enough for the job.
