Public schools in North Carolina will be required to offer in-person instruction to all students by the end of March after a vote by State Board of Education members on Thursday.
Most school districts in the state have brought some students back into classrooms in some form or another with varying guidelines to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. But some students have not been back in front of teachers in-person for almost a year.
New guidelines from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services say public schools should reopen for all K-12 students, require face coverings for all students, and six feet of social distancing for grades six and up.
