Buncombe County Schools’ faculty and staff are looking forward to a brand new school year of in-person learning. We will be focused on addressing any educational challenges our students may have faced due to COVID-19 disruptions and also work to accelerate their learning this year. The pandemic has shown us that change is the only constant we’ve faced. We will continue to monitor the health situation in our schools and across our county and make any safety modifications necessary to ensure we can maintain a healthy, in-person learning environment.
Below are some helpful links to information regarding safety protocols and expectations in our buildings as well as specific COVID protocols from Buncombe County Health and Human Services. View all of our recent

Looking for the latest data?
We want to remind you that each Thursday by Noon, schools will post their new COVID-positive cases on their websites.
Please log on to your school’s website, click on the “Announcements” tab under "Quick Links" on the left side of the screen (screenshot example below), and you’ll see the updated post at the top of the page. The post will be titled "Weekly COVID-19 Update."
This number, which reflects the prior week (Wednesday to Wednesday), includes staff and student school-affected cases.
Please remember if a student or staff member is identified as a close contact of a COVID positive, they will immediately receive a direct communication with important health guidance.
Please reach out to MAHEC’s School Health Program Manager April Baur, April.Baur@mahec.net, with any general health questions.
