Craven County’s Graham A. Barden Elementary School has closed due to the number of staff members who have tested positive for COVID-19 and the high number of students in quarantine, according to a press release. The school will be closed for face-to-face instruction until September 7, 2021 and will shift to remote learning in the meantime. Instruction is expected on Zoom no later than Friday. The school made independent learning materials available for students until then.
