					<description><![CDATA[The National Weather Service has upgraded Rutherford County and our broader region from a Winter Storm Watch to a Winter Storm Warning ahead of a winter weather system forecast to affect our area within the next twenty-four hours. Wintry precipitation is forecast to begin across Rutherford County around midday tomorrow, with area travel conditions worsening as snow, perhaps mixed with sleet or freezing rain, continues into the overnight hours.

Rutherford County Schools will observe a remote learning day for students and an optional teacher workday for school employees on Friday, January 10, 2025. Remote work is authorized for eligible employees in accordance with local policies 7503 and 7550.

Take care, and please be safe if you travel tomorrow. 

El Servicio Meteorológico Nacional ha actualizado el condado de Rutherford y nuestra región en general de una alerta de tormenta invernal a una advertencia de tormenta invernal antes de un pronóstico del sistema climático invernal que afectará nuestra área dentro de las próximas veinticuatro horas. Se pronostica que las precipitaciones invernales comenzarán en todo el condado de Rutherford alrededor del mediodía de mañana, y las condiciones de viaje en el área empeorarán a medida que la nieve, tal vez mezclada con aguanieve o lluvia helada, continúe hasta las horas de la noche.

Las Escuelas del Condado de Rutherford observarán un día de aprendizaje remoto para los estudiantes y un día de trabajo docente opcional para los empleados de la escuela el viernes 10 de enero de 2025. El trabajo remoto está autorizado para los empleados elegibles de acuerdo con las políticas locales 7503 y 7550.

Cuídense y estén seguros si viajan mañana.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Following continued improvement in local conditions over the past several days, I am pleased to let you know that Rutherford County Schools will reopen to students on Wednesday, October 9.

Numerous roadways in our county are still affected by downed trees and other obstructions, and those roads will remain closed to school bus traffic until they are cleared. We have assembled a complete list of roads closed to school bus traffic, and we will update that list on our website and social media platforms by 4:00 PM each day until all roads are open to school bus traffic.

Occasional obstructions, low-hanging limbs, and narrowed lanes exist even on some roads that are open to school bus traffic, so we recommend that drivers use extra care on all roadways. In order to maximize visibility as our school buses and other drivers resume school-related travel, Rutherford County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Wednesday, October 9, and then return to a normal operating schedule on Thursday, October 10.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As we continue to assess Hurricane Helene's impact and support our community's ongoing disaster recovery efforts, I want to share an update with you regarding school operations. We've defined a list of conditions necessary to safely reopen our schools following the storm, and we’re monitoring those conditions in real time on a site-by-site basis. Obviously, though, we haven’t satisfied those conditions, and it seems unrealistic to think that we will be able to reopen schools this week.

Rutherford County Schools will observe remote learning days for students and optional teacher workdays for employees on Wednesday, October 2, and Thursday, October 3. Those designations exhaust the number of remote learning days available to us this year. Therefore, our schools will be closed for students on Friday, October 4, with an optional workday for school employees on that date. Remote work remains authorized for eligible employees for the remainder of this week.

We recognize that remote work remains impossible for most and that other critical priorities still exist. No student or school employee will be penalized for not working remotely as we navigate unprecedented challenges together as a community.

Given ongoing infrastructure issues across our area, mass communication remains difficult. I hope sharing a single message outlining our complete plans for the rest of the week is helpful during these very difficult times.

We will continue to assess conditions for reopening schools and provide another update on school operations this weekend.

Thank you, and best wishes in the days ahead.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We continue to track progress toward reopening our schools using the eight criteria we identified earlier this week. Many of those conditions have improved considerably, and we are much closer to reopening than we were even a few days ago. We are optimistic that schools will reopen for students next week.

Our goal is to reopen schools for students on Wednesday, October 9. In anticipation of meeting that target date, schools will remain closed for students on Monday, October 7, and Tuesday, October 8. Both days will be required workdays for school employees. We are confident that those required workdays will give us the time and opportunity to ensure that we are fully prepared for students' successful return on Wednesday, and we are optimistic that, with continued improvements in the coming days, we can meet that goal. Once we do, we will share another update early next week confirming those arrangements.

We are pleased to let you know that our school nutrition team will be providing free school meals to all persons aged 18 years and younger on both Monday and Tuesday of the coming week. Drive-through meal pick-up sites will operate at Ellenboro Elementary School, Forrest W. Hunt Elementary School, and Spindale Elementary School from 11:30 AM until 1:30 PM on both days. We’ll share additional details about those free school meal services in a separate message.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hurricane Helene caused widespread, catastrophic damage across our county and region as it passed through the area earlier this weekend. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers remain with every affected individual and family across our community as rescue, recovery, and restoration efforts continue over the coming days and weeks.

Given the widespread damage and destruction across our community, school operations are substantially disrupted. On both Monday, September 30, and Tuesday, October 1, Rutherford County Schools will observe remote learning days for students and optional teacher workdays for employees. Remote work is authorized for eligible employees on both days.

We recognize that remote learning and remote work are simply impossible for most students, employees, and families across our county given almost universal power outages and crippling disruptions to cellular and Internet services. Please understand that we are designating Monday and Tuesday as remote days only because that designation gives us the most flexibility as we navigate what may be an extended school closure. We recognize that remote work is impossible for most and that other critical priorities exist, and no student or school employee will be penalized for not working remotely as we navigate unprecedented challenges together as a community.

Our team will continue to monitor recovery efforts and assess damage to school facilities in the coming days. We will provide the next update on school operations no later than 4:00 PM on Tuesday, October 1.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Earlier this afternoon, law enforcement and school officials were made aware of a social media message circulated through Twitter threatening students and school personnel at a school described as "East Rutherford High School." This message has been broadly recirculated through our school community and through the community at large. School officials and law enforcement personnel appreciate all the calls, texts, and tip line calls alerting us to this message and the potential threat it expresses. 

Through the coordinated efforts of federal and local law enforcement personnel and school officials, the individual who posted the threat was promptly identified, and the threat has been confirmed to be a hoax.

 Tonight, and at all times, the safety of our students is our top priority. We will continue to monitor social media activity, investigate real and potential threats, and take every step necessary to ensure a safe school environment.]]></description>

Temperatures are not forecast to warm above freezing again until early Saturday afternoon. 

Given the elevated risk of black ice and dangerous travel conditions on area roadways, Rutherford County Schools will observe a remote learning day for all students at all grade levels, and an Optional Teacher Workday for all school system employees, on Friday, January 21, 2022. Eligible employees facing hazardous travel conditions tomorrow morning are authorized to telework pursuant to policies 7503 and 7550. Eligible employees who do elect to telework tomorrow should promptly communicate with their immediate supervisors about those arrangements.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Community: NO CREDIBLE THREAT
 
Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office and Rutherford County School System have been made aware of a social media message circulated through Snapchat threatening students and school personnel at a school described as "Central High School."  The message was supposedly posted by “Alex Anderson” (who is not a student at any school in Rutherford County).

This message has been broadly recirculated through the school community and throughout the county.

School officials and law enforcement personnel appreciate all the calls, texts, and tip line calls alerting us to this message and the potential threat it expresses.

We have investigated the source of the message and its recirculation within the local school community. However, at this time, we do not believe the message is connected to a school in Rutherford County or poses any threat to students or employees at a school in Rutherford County.

Investigations into the social media post have been conducted in several communities with a "Central High School" around the country, and the post appears to target Central High School in St. Joseph, MO, not R-S Central High School. 

At all times, the safety of the students and schools in Rutherford County are our top priority. 

We will continue to monitor social media activity, investigate real and potential threats, and take every step necessary to ensure a safe school environment.

Capt. Chris Lovelace, Rutherford County Schools Investigator

					<description><![CDATA[As required by State law and public health guidance, Rutherford County Schools provided a remote learning program during the 2020-2021 school year. At this time, it is unclear whether State law and public health guidance will continue to require a remote learning program during the 2021-2022 school year. However, Rutherford County Schools is preparing for the possibility of a remote learning program by collecting applications for participation. A final decision about the actual availability of a remote learning program is subject to applicable State guidance. 

Rutherford County Schools will accept applications from Monday, May 10, through Friday, May 28. A separate application must be submitted for each child seeking admission to the remote learning program. 

Applicants will be notified of their tentative admission status, pending applicable State guidance, by Monday, June 14. 

To apply online, please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JYRL7W2.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Rutherford County Schools is currently operating all middle and high schools under Plan B, and students in grades 6-12 may participate in either the Hybrid Learning Program or the full-time Remote Learning Program. On Thursday, March 11, the North Carolina General Assembly and Governor enacted a new state law allowing, but not requiring, local boards of education to transition middle and high schools to Plan A for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year. The Rutherford County Board of Education ("Board") will meet soon to review that new legislation and evaluate local middle and high school operations. 

In the event that the Board transitions local middle and high schools from Plan B to Plan A, students currently participating in the Hybrid Learning Program will automatically transition to a full-time Face-To-Face Learning Program, and students participating in the full-time Remote Learning Program will remain in the full-time Remote Learning Program. 

However, we recognize that some parents may want to CHANGE their child's learning program if the Board transitions local middle and high schools from Plan B to Plan A in the coming days and weeks. Please use this questionnaire to request such a change to your child's learning program. The deadline for submitting this questionnaire is 12:00 Noon on Tuesday, March 16, 2021.]]></description>

In December, the Board reviewed three calendar models.

only from Monday, December 14, until Tuesday, January 19. Elementary
schools will reopen for hybrid learning under Plan B on Tuesday, January 19.
• Middle and high schools except the Rutherford Opportunity Center will
temporarily transition to Plan C for remote learning only from Wednesday,

					<description><![CDATA[Periods of heavy rain and strong winds associated with Tropical Cyclone Zeta brought down numerous trees and power lines throughout Rutherford County as the storm crossed our region through the early- to mid-morning hours today, leading to impassable roads and widespread power outages. While we have seen some improvement to those conditions throughout the afternoon, some roads require additional attention and numerous schools across the county remain without power this evening.

At this time, Rutherford County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Friday, October 30. We will reassess road conditions and electrical service to our school campuses overnight tonight and announce any additional adjustments to tomorrow’s school schedule no later than 7:00 AM tomorrow morning. Please be alert to the possibility that tomorrow's initial delay could become a closure if conditions do not significantly improve during the overnight hours.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The National Weather Service has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for our area. Tropical Cyclone Zeta will affect local weather and travel conditions as the storm approaches western North Carolina overnight tonight and passes through the region tomorrow. Along with some periods of heavy rain that may lead to isolated flooding, tropical storm force winds are expected across all of Rutherford County. We anticipate sustained winds of 30 to 35 miles per hour, with wind gusts of 40 to 45 miles per hour, increasing the risk of downed trees and power lines and creating unsafe travel conditions – especially for high-profile vehicles like school buses.

In anticipation of the storm’s arrival and impact, Rutherford County Schools will be closed for face-to-face instruction on Thursday, October 29. We will observe an Optional Teacher Workday for school employees and a remote learning day for all students. School employees should exercise caution on area roadways and should communicate with their immediate supervisors if any adjustments to their reporting times are necessary to ensure their safe travel.]]></description>
