Speaker Tim Moore said: “I join parents, experts, and elected officials across North Carolina urging every school district to use strong sources of available funding to reopen for in-person student instruction this semester for every family who wants it.
Student achievement has suffered long enough, and it is time for school districts to begin preparing robust opportunities for in-person remedial instruction now and over the summer. The massive learning loss of the last year must end now. The most vulnerable young people in our state desperately need a return to productive education communities that shape their development as individuals, and I urge every school district to safely offer in-person instruction this semester.”
