Guilford County Teacher: 'I'm quite honestly terrified'

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The start of the upcoming school is year a month away, but Guilford County Schools has yet to decide on its reopening plan.

One teacher said she doesn't understand how in-person learning will work, and worries if things don't change - many kids will be left behind.

Right now, Kiser Middle School teacher Michelle Harris Jefferson is in the process of getting things ready for classes this fall, but she doesn't know what exactly she's planning for.

"I'm honestly quite terrified," Jefferson said. "And I'm also really really concerned not only for my own health but bringing something home to my child."

Guilford County schools is finalizing plans for the upcoming school year, but any in-school learning would require masks and social distancing. 

Superintendent Dr. Sharon Contreras wants the first five weeks to be virtual, after that, the district is considering a blended model that would incorporate both in-person and remote learning.
