Press release from Asheville City Schools:
Public health is a shared responsibility, and it is one that our district takes seriously.
Following our own strict protocols, Asheville City Schools will not be able to serve meals from either our drive-thru or grab and go food distribution sites either tomorrow, Tuesday, September 8th or Wednesday, September 9th due to the continued community spread of COVID-19. However, please reach out to your school social worker should your family need additional nutritional resources on Tuesday or Wednesday.
More information regarding Thursday and Friday will be released by Wednesday.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause your family. But, please know our top priority is the safety of our students and staff members.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenging times. Please, continue to do your part to prevent COVID from spreading by keeping space between yourself and others, wearing face coverings and washing your hands often. It will take all of us working together to kick COVID to the curb.
