BEAUFORT â Citing concerns over a predicted spike in COVID-19 cases following the Christmas holidays, the Carteret County Board of Education voted Wednesday to have students switch to remote virtual learning Wednesday, Jan. 6 through Friday, Jan. 15 after returning from holiday break.
âWe were told the week of Jan. 6 and 11th is when we will see a spike,â Superintendent Dr. Rob Jackson said during the emergency called meeting Wednesday in the school systemâs central office. âAs allowed by the governor, after talking with the principals, the cabinet staff, working with the health director and school nurses, it is my recommendation that we move to 100 percent remote learning from Jan. 6-15 and return (Tuesday) Jan. 19 to the plan as we are now.â
