here in durham, county, they have a year-round school option.ind me and others in the country just welcomed back some kids this week amid this surge. the governor made an announcement yesterday with new guidelines suggesting that elementary and middle schools require masks regardless of vaccination. he did say, though, that for high schools if people are vaccinated they can remove those masks. but those are strong recommendations, but ayman, you know at the end of the day, it will come down to the local and district level. it's not clear if or how the state is going to enforce those rules, especially in some of those districts where folks may be more resistant to masking. as you know, this has been a flash point at school boards across the country. but here in durham, durham public schools, actually took it a step further than the governor's recommendations and at this point they are requiring masks for high schools as well. so masking across the board at this point. they say it's because so many of those school-age kids are not yet eligible to
