Republicans in the General Assembly are criticizing Gov. Roy Cooper for his inaction on a bill that would reopen schools for in-person instruction.
Lawmakers passed Senate Bill 37 last week in a bipartisan vote: 31-16 in the Senate and 77-42 in the House. Three Democrats in the Senate and eight Democrats in the House joined every Republican in voting for the bill.
The measure requires public schools to provide in-person instruction to students in kindergarten through 12th grade for the remainder of the scheduled 2020-21 school year.
The bill has been on Cooper’s desk for a week now. By law, the governor has 10 days to sign or veto legislation passed while the General Assembly is in session. Otherwise, the bill becomes law without his signature.

Three Democrats file paperwork to challenge Lauren Boebert in 2022 Print this article
Three Democrats in Colorado s 3rd Congressional District have enrolled as candidates vying to unseat freshman Rep. Lauren Boebert in 2022.
State Sen. Kerry Donovan, attorney Colin Wilhelm, and Marine veteran and businessman Gregg Smith have reportedly signed the federal paperwork required to challenge the incumbent. The candidates have suggested that Boebert s response to the pandemic motivated their decisions to run.
“We need a complete recovery from COVID,” Donovan, a six-year member of the local office, told FOX 31. “We need to rebuild our economy stronger than it was before. And, of course, we have really important regional issues like drought,” adding that the fight over $1,400 stimulus checks in the COVID-19 relief bill is a travesty when the government should be cutting monthly checks to those families, probably $1,200 a month.
