Posted — UpdatedParents with children in the Johnston County school system are unsure of how to move forward.
Kerri Bonvi, for example, has children in virtual learning – and she's ready for a change of pace, saying she can't mentally handle virtual classes for a whole year.
However, the latest numbers from Johnston County schools make parents wary of returning their students to the classroom.
Currently, 659 students are actively under quarantine – and so far in the month of November, 1350 students have been under quarantine.
Staff members are also not immune from catching the virus. Right now, 116 staff members are under active quarantine – and so far in November a total of 263 staff members have been under quarantine.
"I’ve been trying to look at the big picture the entire time, which is why I kept them home," said Bonvi.
