Our guests are Dr. Whitney Oakley, Chief Academic Officer and Dr. Eboni Chillis, Interim Chief Innovation Officer, Guilford County Schools. Guilford County Schools (GCS) will be launching two, tuition-free virtual schools for the 2020-2021 academic school year. The two virtual schools will provide another option for the coming school year for families who have concerns about in-person, in classroom instruction for their children during the pandemic. Long term, the virtual schools also will allow students who thrive online, need a more personalized approach to learning, or those who desire a more flexible learning environment continue to receive a quality education.
