DANBURY At its regular meeting Monday night, the Stokes County Board of Education again spent much discussion time talking about grades, attendance and remote learning.
This debate came amid related news from Raleigh. North Carolina Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Monday that would require school districts in the state to offer at least partial in-person instruction for all K-12 public school students. Senate Bill 37 would still allow parents to utilize an online-only option for their child. Then on Tuesday, Gov. Roy Cooper, the state secretary of health and a bipartisan pair of top education officials pressed school systems to reopen for in-person learning. “It’s time to get our children back into the classroom,” Cooper said during a briefing on the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
