In a special called meeting, the Wake school board voted on Plan B Transition, which will have all students learning remotely for the beginning of the school year. 

HEAT WITH 95 IN RALEIGH, 94 IN FAYETTEVILLE WITH MORE HEAT TO COME BUT IT WILL BREAK SOON, COMING UP. >>> THE WAKE COUNTY PARENTS HAD TO KEEP THE CHILDREN AT HOME A BIT LONGER. THE SCHOOL YEAR OFFICIALLY STARTS WITH REMOTE LEARNING. >> SCHOOL LEADERS HAVE APPROVED THE PLAN WITHIN THE LAST 90 MINUTES. IT IS NOT THE GOVERNOR PLAN C AND THEY CALL IT  PLAN B TRANSITION. YOU WILL HEAR THAT OFTEN IN THE COMING WEEKS AS WE EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS. JOE FISHER WATCHED THE ENTIRE MEETING AND HE IS LIVE WITH THE ANSWERS. >> Reporter: FIRST OF ALL THE DISTRICTS THAT THEY PLAN ON PUTTING COMPUTERS WITH EVERY STUDENT IN THE DISTRICT THAT NEEDS ONE. THEY WILL BE A SURVEY EMAILED OUT TO PARENTS TOMORROW, SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THAT. THE DISTRICT SAID THEY'RE WORKING ON A PLAN TO OFFER REDUCED CHILDCARE TO HELP OUT WORKING PARENTS MOST AFFECTED BY THE BIG CHANGE TODAY. >> GO BACK TO ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR AND FIVE. >> Reporter: WHEN STUDENTS RETURN TO CLASS IN WAKE COUNTY IT IS ONLINE ONLY. >> IT'S A BETTER PLAN THAN PLAN B BUT NOT THE BEST PLAN. >> Reporter:  TEACHERS ARE STILL CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THE DISTRICT CALLS PLAN B TRANSITION WITH STUDENTS WITH A MODIFIED SCHEDULE STARTING AUGUST 13 AND TRADITIONAL STUDENTS START AUGUST 17. THE FIRST TWO WEEKS IS A SOFT LAUNCH FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO GET ACCLIMATED WITH PROGRAMS. PRE-K AND SPECIAL ED REGIONAL STUDENTS RETURN TO THE DAILY IN- PERSON CLASS ON SEPTEMBER 8. >> WE SWITCH UP WITH NO PREPARATION TIME. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PREPARATION TIME YOU END UP IN AN EMERGENCY LEARNING PHASE LIKE MARCH THROUGH JUNE. >> Reporter: IN THE THREE HOUR SPECIAL MEETING SCHOOL OFFICIALS LAID OUT A PLAN FOR VIRTUAL LEARNING. IT GIVES THE STUDENTS FLEXIBILITY BUT REQUIRES ATTENDANCE WITH TWO OR THREE HOURS OF LIVE INSTRUCTION EACH DAY. OFFICE HOURS, CONSISTENT GRADING AND CLEARLY DEFINED EXPECTATIONS THEY SAY WILL HELP TO KEEP THE STUDENTS ON TRACK. >> WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE BAR MUST BE RAISED FOR THE 20-21 SCHOOL YEAR. >> Reporter: THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF STUDENTS RETURNING TO IN-PERSON CONSTRUCTION, DIFFERENT THAN THE MORE CONSISTENT VIRTUAL ACADEMY THAT WILL KEEP THE STUDENTS ONLINE FOR THE ENTIRE SEMESTER. SUPERINTENDENT CATHY MOORE POINTED OUT THE RISING COVID-19 CASES AS ONE REASON FOR THE SWITCH, AND A NEED FOR MORE TIME TO SECURE ADEQUATE PPE FOR ALL OF THE SCHOOLS. >> THERE ARE PEOPLE MAD WE ARE CHANGING UP THE PLANT BUT IT IS MY SINCERE BELIEF WE WILL GET TO A BETTER PLAN AND BETTER PLACE. >> Reporter: THE SUPERINTENDENT SAID IT IS HER GOAL TO GET THE STUDENTS BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AS SOON AS PRACTICAL. DURING THE MEETING TODAY SHE DID NOT OFFER AN ESTIMATE ON EXACTLY WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN. THE PLAN AS WRITTEN RIGHT NOW PUTS PRE-K STUDENTS BACK IN THE CLASSROOM FIRST, WHICH WE ALREADY HEAR FROM TEACHERS THAT ARE RAISING RED FLAGS ABOUT THAT. THEY FEEL THE YOUNGER STUDENTS WILL BE HARDEST TO SOCIAL DISTANCE AND TO WEAR A MASK ALL DAY. THERE ARE MANY MOVING PARTS TO THIS ONE. >> NO MATTER WHAT THERE IS NO PERFECT PLAN. JOE FISHER LIVE, THANK YOU. >>> PARENTS GET ANOTHER CHANCE TODAY TO APPLY FOR VIRTUAL ACADEMY WITH AN OPEN THREE-DAY ENROLLMENT WINDOW BEGINNING MONDAY, JULY 27. THE NEW DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY AT 5:00 P.M. FAMILIES THAT HAVE SIGNED UP CAN MAKE CHANGES DURING THE WINDOW AS WELL.

I'm meteorologist, Elizabeth Gardner. We're looking at a level one risk for severe storms for the rest of the day today. Closer to lunchtime, we may see a wave that comes through that could bring us a few showers or thunderstorms. Our severe weather threat at this point would be fairly low potential for some wind damage, possibly. Um, and of course, that's down from a level two and of course, our weather alert day for today has been canceled. There is still some ongoing severe weather across parts of the deep south of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama. You can see there in red. Those are tornado watches and, uh, some severe thunderstorm warnings there in yellow that continue to crop up, but all of that looks to stay to our south and west. It doesn't look like we'll see much of a risk for severe storms for the rest of the day, but it is likely to be breezy. We'll see winds out of the southwest gusting 25 to 30 MPH. And as we roll through future cast, you can see closer to lunchtime, a quick shower, maybe an isolated thunderstorm that should be out of here. By early afternoon, maybe a few breaks in the clouds, but we may not see a whole lot of sunshine still for the most part, if you're headed to the games game tonight, hopefully that's going to be a good one. only a tiny chance of a shower at that point game time, temperatures will be around 80 degrees and it does look like tailgating would be fine for the most part future cast. As we get through the day tomorrow, we'll see an increasing chance for showers and thunderstorms, especially mid to late afternoon. That's when the cold front comes through. That cold front's been producing a lot of severe weather. It looks like our chances for storms may be a little better tomorrow than today. And there is a lot, one risk in our southern counties for tomorrow. Mid eighties this afternoon. Definitely a toasty and sticky day. We're sitting steamy right now, but over the weekend, we're going to see that dropping off to much lower. So we get rid of the humidity. We'll see much more pleasant temperatures highs in the seventies, Saturday and Sunday. It looks like an absolutely gorgeous Mother's Day weekend. And again, our chance for rain tapering off through the rest of the day today, but a chance of scattered storms in the afternoon and evening for tomorrow.
