The school board will make the final decision during an emergency meeting Thursday.

In Charlotte County on Tuesday, school leaders met to discuss the safest way to return to the classroom and what it would take to pull the plug on returning at all. In a unanimous decision, the board elected to push back the school start date to Aug. 31. Also passed by the school board was the decision to require masks to be worn on all school district property.
