Halifax County, NC- October 5, 2020
Reopening of Schools
At the Halifax County Board of Education meeting on Monday, October 5, 2020, the Board approved Superintendent Dr. Eric Cunningham’s recommendation to continue with remote learning for the next nine weeks. Dr. Cunningham stated that he would monitor for the next couple of weeks and reserves the right to modify his recommendation at November 2020 board meeting.
Dr. Cunningham based his recommendation on survey data after listening to parents, students, staff and teachers. The data revealed that there are deep concerns about COVID-19 and its impact on reopening for in-person instruction. Halifax County Schools has suffered a terrible loss and it still resonates in our hearts and minds of our entire community. We will continue to work with our health department officials and monitor the data. With the support and guidance of our health experts, I am certain we will identify the best time to fully reopen. Safety is our highest priority and requires everyone to be in alignment to protect our most precious treasures our children.
