GREENSBORO, N.C. — Parents posted the first day of school pictures and lots of smiling faces and even their DIY classrooms. But a lot of those smiles turned to frustration when two statewide glitches within the first three days of school stopped remote learning. While it wasn’t any school district’s fault, it is still an issue for them to navigate.
DEVICES NEEDED
There are about 5,200 children in the school district without any kind of device at home. While devices have been ordered, they probably won't be in until the end of November. GCS is asking for the community to donate the gently used devices they no longer need. If you have devices equipped with a camera, audio and a charger please deliver them to the offices in Greensboro, 712 N. Eugene Street, or at the High Point office at 900 English Road.
Community members can also purchase new device by donating the cost of a device (approximately $350) to a fund at the Guilford Education Alliance (GEA). For more information call 336-841-4332.
