I'm not sure the VH$L would mandate it, but probably leave that up to the schools anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average high in March hovers near 50 anyway, and it’s likely not to be as bone-jarring cold as some of those November night games can be.

Because the state prohibits school buses on it which turns an hour drive into a near two hour drive. Not to mention the fact that Walker Mountain is literally the only reason why Northwood High School still exists.

Throw in Huffman and the number of kids who travel the other way down 42 and hit a regularly plowed 460 to Pearisburg makes this pretty much a mute point anyway.

If it were possible to get kids from the upper end of Rich Valley to Marion without taking 16 (which buses are prohibited on) Northwood would be consolidated with Chilhowie. It's been on the agenda for the school board since the late 70s, back when it would have consolidated CHS, RBWHS, and RVHS. The school board even bought a large piece of land on 107 just outside of Chilhowie to build it on, but they viewed it as too long of a drive for students around Ceres and Nebo, and there was no way to get those students to Marion. If they had consolidated though, it would have created two Smyth County high schools, that at this point, would have almost identical enrollment.

Can't believe that they'd hold up "progress" for so few. Not Ceres-proper, more Olympia. A small portion of northeastern Smyth County has a Ceres mailing address. I know that when I went to high school at Marion, several students travelled to Marion for high school from the "upper end" of Rich Valley and Nebo without complaint from the school board, so long as they had transportation. There were two classmates of mine, unrelated to each other, who transferred from Northwood to Marion their Junior year when they got driver's licenses, because their RVHS alum parent didnt want them going to "that damn Saltville school." mmqp, Liam McPoyle and GMan 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single A west 113 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 COVID-19 and Children The best available evidence indicates that COVID-19 poses relatively low risks to school-aged children. Children appear to be at lower risk for contracting COVID-19 compared to adults. To put this in perspective, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of July 17, 2020, the United States reported that children and adolescents under 18 years old account for under 7 percent of COVID-19 cases and less than 0.1 percent of COVID-19-related deaths.[5] Although relatively rare, flu-related deaths in children occur every year. From 2004-2005 to 2018-2019, flu-related deaths in children reported to CDC during regular flu seasons ranged from 37 to 187 deaths. During the H1N1pandemic (April 15, 2009 to October 2, 2010), 358 pediatric deaths were reported to CDC. So far in this pandemic, deaths of children are less than in each of the last five flu seasons, with only 64.† Additionally, some children with certain underlying medical conditions, however, are at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19.* Scientific studies suggest that COVID-19 transmission among children in schools may be low. International studies that have assessed how readily COVID-19 spreads in schools also reveal low rates of transmission when community transmission is low. Based on current data, the rate of infection among younger school children, and from students to teachers, has been low, especially if proper precautions are followed. There have also been few reports of children being the primary source of COVID-19 transmission among family members.[6],[7],[8] This is consistent with data from both virus and antibody testing, suggesting that children are not the primary drivers of COVID-19 spread in schools or in the community.[9],[10],[11] No studies are conclusive, but the available evidence provides reason to believe that in-person schooling is in the best interest of students, particularly in the context of appropriate mitigation measures similar to those implemented at essential workplaces as u see 358 pediatric deaths H1N1, 2009-10, do you remember schools closing or any sports stoppage?

As mentioned several times, This is completely a political stunt controlled by the media and the democratic party. They are driving a double standard that will get erased come December no matter who win the election. Virginia is sadly caught in the political cross fire with king ralph. I am not down playing the people who have died from this, but the timing on when this finally becomes just another illness is long overdue and once the election is over it will "magically" become another illness. Those with pre-existing conditions and the elderly are most at risk for.......... any viral or bacterial disease. Speaking of illness whatever happened to Zika?

For the 742nd time... Approximately 1 in 6 (16%) people in the US had H1N1, and it killed under 13,000 people. That’s roughly in line with any standard flu. Approximately 1 in 50 people (2%, and I’m rounding up) has had COVID-19, and it has killed 172,000 people (I’m rounding down). Let’s recap. COVID-19 has affected 1/8 the people of H1N1 and has killed 13 times the number of people of H1N1. You’d have to be willfully stupid to consider this a government conspiracy. Is it politicized? Of course. Are people worrying needlessly? Of course! But my goodness, intelligence seems to have left the building in 2020.
