Hickory Public Schools announced Bryan Taylor as the district’s new superintendent Tuesday evening at Hickory High School. A reception followed the announcement.
Hickory Public Schools Board of Education met Wednesday night to discuss how their schools would move forward this semester.
âWe have people who work for us and with us that have been and continue to be extremely sick,â said HPS Superintendent Robbie Adell during the meeting. âI ask that the board consider two options tonight for discussion: the first would be not to change anything and continue doing what we re doing, or two, allow the in-person instruction to pause for two weeks until the 19th of January.â
The board ultimately decided that K-3 will continue to transition to Plan A, which began on Jan. 5. This means all K-3 students will do in-person learning on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Wednesday will be a remote learning day.
