ALAMANCE COUNTY, N.C. — The Alamance-Burlington Board of Education has approved a plan for students to return to the classroom five days a week.
Students in grades pre-K through 12th grade will return to in-person learning, five days a week beginning on Monday, February 1. Families who want to continue with remote learning can select that option for their children.

The school district will release more details after winter break.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday the school system is part of a pilot program allowing for COVID-19 rapid testing to all students and staff.
