Watauga returns to school on Oct. 24. Buncombe returns on Oct. 25. Asheville-City returns on Oct. 28. Ashe returns to school on Oct. 29.

Avery and Mitchell plan to open on Nov. 6. Stay tuned on Yancey. I will be in Avery, Mitchell, and Yancey this week as these districts continue to plan how to bring students back to school.

The legislature convenes on Thursday. Check out this article from the Smoky Mountain News, which quotes Sen. Kevin Corbin, R-Macon, as saying, “I can promise you what you won’t get. You won’t get things you don’t ask for.”

Educators, please remember to complete the open enrollment process for the State Health Plan. Deadline is Oct. 25, with an extension for those in WNC until Nov. 1.

And please go vote! Here is our candidate guide. Here is First Vote so the kids in your life can practice voting.

 

These are the sources EdNC checks every day: The New York Times, The 74, Education Week, The NC Tribune, The Insider, The News & Observer, The Charlotte Observer, WUNC, WFAE, Brookings, Education Commission of the States, and DPI’s News.
