The Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Board of Education has voted to delay studentsâ return for in-person classes until Jan. 21, citing a spike in COVID-19 cases, a shortage of substitute teachers, and growing anxiety among school staff about the uptick in virus infections.
ECPPS elementary school students had been scheduled to return from holiday break for in-person classes on Jan. 6. Middle and high school students also were scheduled to return that day for a mixture of online and in-person classes.
Students will still return to classes on Jan. 6; however, all of their classes will be online. Face-to-face, in-person instruction will not resume for any students until Jan. 21.
