Both the Graham County and Mitchell County school systems announced this week that they will temporarily switch to remote learning. Both districts, located along the Appalachian Trail, also voted this week to require face masks be worn when students return to campus. “As many conversations around the pandemic have become political in nature, our board has desired to not let our schools become a political pawn,” Brandon Pitman, chairman of the Mitchell County school board said in a letter to the community explaining the decision to require masking. “Unfortunately, any decision we make can be presented or interpreted with a political agenda. Our sincerest desire has been and continues to be the physical, emotional and mental well-being of our students, faculty and staff.”
