Cabarrus County schools to move to Plan A next month

Cabarrus County Schools are taking the next step in the return to the classroom starting next month. The school board voted for students in grades K-3 to transition back to all in-person learning.

It’s a decision that’s divided the community.

While some parents are certainly excited at the idea of students returning to face-to-face learning, other parents and teachers are concerned about returning while COVID-19 numbers are still high.

Outside of the Cabarrus County Board of Education, a group of teachers organized a park-in with cars decorated and signs posted, hoping to make their voices and others heard.

“Several of the board members did try to engage and speak with us which we really appreciated so it was a great start," said Kimberly Biondi, an English teacher at Central Cabarrus High School.
