Jackson County Public Schools announced earlier today that by agreement with the Governor’s Office, state superintendent, local superintendent, school board, and local health director, Jackson County Public Schools, NC is CLOSED March 16-30.
This is a precautionary measure, and there are no reported cases of COVID-19 in Jackson County. More information about instruction at home and food service will be released later. We appreciate your understanding and support while we have followed the guidance and direction of state and local authorities.
Jackson County Public Schools, NC district and school administrators met with Dr. Kim Elliott and Jacob Buchanan Monday for a briefing on the latest guidelines from the NC Department of Public Instruction regarding the extended school closing. Administrators were given three priorities:
- Feeding and care of our students and staff
- Childcare issues
- Instruction
We expect to address all three priorities with daily updates this week. You can see a log of all official updates HERE. There is a tremendous amount of work happening behind the scenes. Difficult times like these bring out the best in our community!
