Guilford County Educators Ask State To Approve More Restart Schools by Keri Brown 4:26pm May 14, 2021 Some Guilford County schools will have more instruction days for the new academic year. It’s part of the district’s plan to help struggling students. The plan applies to what are called Restart schools. Guilford County has sixteen in the district. The Restart designation gives low-performing schools more flexibility to meet the needs of struggling students. That includes calendar adjustments, how they fund teachers, and class size. Next year, these schools will have four more student days. Teachers will be on contract for an additional five days.
