We really appreciated the chance to get in there. I think we got a lot accomplished and I think everybody s in a better place now, said NCHSAA Board of Directors President Bobby Wilkins, who is the principal at Hendersonville High School.

We have the tools
Can you imagine sending a child outside to play in the middle of winter without a coat, hat or gloves? They would be unprotected from the cold and risk their health. Thatâs what it will be like if we send our unvaccinated kids to school without masks.
Masks work in preventing the spread of COVID-19. The Duke Collaborative Study, which included our school district, showed how effective N.C. schools were at preventing the transmission of COVID-19 last year. The studyâs authors stated, âWith masking, the schools clearly can safely deliver face-to-face education for children and adults.â They went on to say that remote education is not necessary; we have the tools to safely and successfully have in-person instruction.
