Superintendent Alert Message – September 17, 2020  5:00pm

Good afternoon,

This is Dr. Sandra Carter, Superintendent of Caswell County Schools.  It is Thursday afternoon, September 17^th at 5:00pm.  The purpose of this message is to provide you an update on the current Plan C, which is remote learning for all Caswell County Schools students.

As you may be aware, this afternoon, Governor Roy Cooper announced that NC school districts have the flexibility to transition to Plan A when districts are ready.  This is only for Kindergarten through fifth grade students and allows the students to be in school at the same time.  The governor did not provide this option for sixth through twelfth grade students. 

Caswell County Schools, grades Kindergarten through twelfth grade, is currently operating under Plan C.  Plan C is total remote learning for the first nine weeks which ends Oct. 14th.  During this time, we are monitoring all current safety protocols and procedures, reviewing Caswell County data related to COVID-19, in constant communication with local Health officials, reviewing parent and staff feedback on surveys and making plans for the possible future transition to another plan.

As previously shared, at the upcoming meeting on Monday, September 28^th, the Board of Education will review all data and information to make a decision whether to continue on the current Plan C or transition to Plan B or Plan A.  Please know that current health and safety requirements continue regardless of which plan is in place.  Those safety procedures include six foot distancing, wearing a mask, frequent washing of hands and temperature checks and screening when entering a building.   

As stated many times, there is no one plan that works for every family.  We look forward to the day when all students and staff are back in our school buildings as it was before COVID.  However, we will continue to keep the safety of our students and staff as a priority.

I would also like to remind everyone of the potential threat of flash flooding this evening from tropical depression Sally.  As always, please keep safety a priority.

Thank you.

Dr. Sandra Carter
