WADESBORO A blue field of pinwheels in the courthouse field signals the arrival of National Child Abuse Prevention Month as the Anson County Partnership for Children hosts family-fun activities throughout April.
The Children’s Bureau within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services funds the month-long initiative and shares the importance of communities coming together to help families and prevent child abuse.
About 1.3 million children received post-response services, such as family preservation, support or foster care, due to the needs discovered during an investigation, according to the Children’s Bureau 2019 Child Maltreatment Report.
In fiscal year 2019, there were about 656,000 victims of child abuse and neglect nationally. North Carolina saw a decrease of 7,857 victims 2015 to 5,601 in 2019.
WADESBORO The Anson County School District this week announced that it would be returning to virtual learning for all students until at least Jan. 19.
The district first posted an announcement on Facebook saying just Wadesboro Primary School would move to virtual learning beginning on Dec. 14 “due to personnel concerns and staff and student safety.”
One day later, the district said all schools will run completely virtual starting the week of Dec. 14. Students will observe the Christmas and New Year’s holidays from Dec. 21 through Jan. 1.
During the school board meeting on Dec. 14, Superintendent Howard McLean advised the board to remain virtual until Jan. 19. This way, students and staff can be in quarantine after the holiday season before returning to a in-person cohort schedule.
