Henderson County 4th-, 5th-graders return to in-person learning Feb. 18
Henderson County Public Schools fourth- and fifth-graders will return to school in-person full-time, known as Plan A, on Feb. 18.
Pre-K through third-grade students returned full-time Feb. 1 and will continue attending school on Plan A while grades 6-12 continue to attend remotely part-time, known as Plan B.
The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services and Gov. Roy Cooper's Office will only permit Plan B for grades 6-12, HCPS Superintendent John Bryant said.
The Henderson County School Board followed the recommendation Bryant gave during a meeting Monday, except for the return date for fourth- and fifth-graders. Bryant recommended Feb. 22 and Chairman Blair Craven made a motion for students to return on Feb. 18.
