New Hanover County Schools has delayed the transition to Plan A.
The New Hanover Board of Education had voted to adopt five-day face-to-face instruction at its Dec. 8 meeting, to begin on Jan. 11.
Now pre-K through 5 schools will switch from remote learning, which will take place Jan. 4-15, to in-class instruction on Jan. 19. (Students are off Jan. 18 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.)
Since only elementary schools are covered by the governor’s order, which allows for face-to-face plans so long as schools screen students at the door and require face coverings, students in middle and high school will remain on Plan B.
