Special BOE Meeting Tuesday

At their regular October meeting, the Hyde County Board of Education voted 5-0 to remain in Plan C, which is all-remote learning for all grade levels. 

Due to pressure from parents and other community members, chairman Randy Etheridge called a special meeting to be held Tuesday, October 27th at 5pm. 

The board will receive updates and review their decision.
