North Carolina public schools are now required to reopen with in-person learning after Gov. Roy Cooper signed a revamped bill into law late Thursday afternoon.
Senate Bill 220 requires all K-5 public schools to reopen with minimal social distancing, referred to as Plan A in the state s guidance, and gives high schools and middle schools the option to choose between Plan A or Plan B, which requires full social distancing. Sixth-grade to 12th-grade classrooms with students with special needs are required to operate under Plan A. Getting students back into the classroom safely is a shared priority, and this agreement will move more students to in-person instruction while retaining the ability to respond to local emergencies, Cooper said.
