Since the beginning of 2021, North Carolina educational institutions have been subject to a variety of studies, orders, and directives related to school reopening from Governor Roy Cooper; the State School Superintendent, Catherine Truitt; State Board of Education Chair, Eric Davis; NCDHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen; and the Mecklenburg County Public Health Director, Gibbie Harris. Now, after a bit of “back-and-forth” the North Carolina General Assembly in collaboration with Governor Cooper has weighed in with Senate Bill 220 (Session Law 2021-4). In sum, the North Carolina General Assembly has required public schools, excluding charter schools, to provide in-person learning opportunities for students. Here is a summary of the requirements from Senate Bill 220:
Onslow County Schools are set to receive further assistance as part of more covid relief efforts after the North Carolina General Assembly appropriated $1.6 billion in funding for NC Public Schools last week.
District 6 Senator Michael Lazzara announced in an email to The Daily News that Onslow County Schools are eligible for up to $24,361,635 of assistance, while Jones County is eligible for up to $1,590,296. The students of North Carolina have suffered long enough. We are committed to doing all we can to support our schools so that our students can return to the classroom, and that parents and educators can have peace of mind in the process, Lazzara said in the email.

Gov. Roy Cooper
After weeks of contentious debate, state Democrats and Republicans came to a meeting of the minds Wednesday on a plan to more fully reopen North Carolina’s public schools.
The Senate is expected to vote on the legislation today. The House could also take the bill up as early as today. The goal is for the bill to become law as soon as possible.
“This compromise bill represents an opportunity for Democrats and Republicans to all agree on a process moving forward,” House Speaker Tim Moore, (R-Cleveland), said during a press conference.
The legislation will take effect 21 days after it’s signed by Gov. Roy Cooper.
