April 22, 2021 GMT
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) Gov. Henry McMaster signed into law Thursday a resolution requiring South Carolina schools to offer in-person classes to students five days a week starting April 26 and for all of next school year.
The measure also included a requirement that districts pay teachers more next school year if they have them directly teaching students who are in person and those online at the same time.
McMaster said with students able to be back in school five days a week, teachers can concentrate on catching up to the typical progress children would have made if the COVID-19 pandemic hadn’t made many classes virtual.
