School district leaders across the Charlotte region are trying to figure out whether a fast-tracked school reopening bill will force them or allow them to revise in-person schedules.
After weeks of wrangling over plans to get kids back into classrooms, North Carolina’s Republican and Democratic leaders announced Wednesday they’ve agreed on a bill that requires school districts to offer in-person classes. Senate Bill 220 quickly won approval from both houses, and Gov. Roy Cooper says he ll sign it.
That bill removes the requirement that middle and high schools enforce 6x-foot distancing. Districts will now be allowed but not required to open those schools under Plan A, which allows more crowded classrooms.
