Well done @GenNation https://twitter.com/JoeBrunoWSOC9/status/1306409464380248064
#CMSBd student member @gabrielschuhl:
"We cannot go into this in a way where we are throwing massive populations into school buildings. We need to do so in a way that is adaptive to metrics."
Here is the full timeline for the return to in person instruction.
All grades of CMS won't fully be in Plan B until Dec 14 (HS only taking tests) Jan (full instruction)
First three weeks will be pre-K only (excluding Montessori). Next 3 weeks K-5. Next 3 weeks middle school. Three weeks after that, high school students return. Total of 12 weeks if all goes well.

NORTH CAROLINA: Do NOT do what the President directs. To make sure your ballot COUNTS, sign and send it in EARLY. Then track it ONLINE with BALLOTTRAX. Do NOT vote twice (it’s a felony), or waste your time, or unnecessarily risk exposure to more people. https://northcarolina.ballottrax.net/?fbclid=IwAR2_zTMPDmbmQhdQK7Ir-_IPwy3Iw5Xut0bX4meqH1cCuFTHjd5GGsUl48E https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1304769412759724033
NORTH CAROLINA: To make sure your Ballot COUNTS, sign & send it in EARLY. When Polls open, go to your Polling Place to see if it was COUNTED. IF NOT, VOTE! Your signed Ballot will not count because your vote has been posted. Don’t let them illegally take your vote away from you!
