GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — Guilford County High Schoolers were supposed to return in-person this Thursday, January 21.
Instead, they've been delayed for weeks and given more instructional time at home.
One student at Northwest Guilford High created a Change.org petition indicating that additional screen time is not the answer.
"I was the one who started it on Friday afternoon and it's taken off since then, I was not expecting this," Sheldon Ulmer said. He's a sophomore.
