RALEIGH â Gov. Roy Cooper strongly urged school districts to provide in-person learning for students at a press conference Tuesday. âItâs important schools follow the safety protocols laid out by NCDHHS,â he said. âThat guidance reinforces in-person learning while maintaining strong public health measures. "Students who are ready to return to the classrooms should have that chance,â said Gov. Roy Cooper. Screenshot âStudents should still have the option of remote learning at school if that is best for them. And teachers who are at risk should be providing that remote instruction. But students who are ready to return to the classrooms should have that chance.â
