Mount Gilead school board reviews hybrid learning policy
By Alberta Stojkovic - The Sentinel
MOUNT GILEAD Following the Dec. 15 Mount Gilead School Board meeting, board members along with teachers and administrators spent an hour discussing the benefits and drawbacks of in-person or face-to-face learning versus hybrid and remote learning.
The school district is presently in a hybrid mode of learning until the end of the grading period Jan. 21 due to the widespread of Covid-19 in the county. Students now are attending school two days and are learning at home or remotely the other three days of the week.
Board member Brandie Salisbury said she has heard concerns of several parents that it is time to go back to five day in-person learning. Salisbury said that as a parent herself, it is difficult for her family to have this situation with so much time learning at home.
