RALEIGH, N.C. — Author's note: the above video is on file from March 5, 2021.
Compromise legislation that directs how North Carolina’s K-12 schools must offer in-person instruction this spring to all students will soon be on Gov. Roy Cooper’s desk.
The House is expected to vote Thursday on the measure, which came about through negotiations between legislative Republicans and Cooper.
The Senate already passed it unanimously Wednesday.
The bill untangles a stalemate surrounding a previous school-reopening measure that Cooper vetoed almost two weeks ago.
The measure directs elementary schools to provide full-time classroom instruction to all students and gives that option to districts for their middle and high schools.
