N.C. parents calling on state to allow in-person learning By Paige Pauroso | January 21, 2021 at 4:57 PM EST - Updated January 21 at 8:24 PM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Thousands of North Carolina parents are waiting on a response from Governor Cooper after they signed a letter, asking him to reinstate in-person learning.
Four groups representing four major school districts in North Carolina, including Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, came together to write the letter. Thousands of parents are represented.
Part of the letter reads “NC educators and NC families have been increasingly concerned with the significant class failure rates, decreased class attendance rates, and emotional/mental health of our children who have become isolated, are not participating in sports, and are not receiving a solid education that will prepare them for college and the remainder of their life.”
