RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) It s back to school for many families in Wake County this week.
Now, some students could be headed for summer school if a new bill passes through the General Assembly.
The Summer Learning Choice for Families , also known as House Bill 82, would require school districts to offer six weeks of learning recovery and enrichment after the school year ends.
The bill aims to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on at-risk students and to require the implementation of innovative benchmark assessments.
For students in kindergarten through third-grade, in-person instruction will focus on reading and math. There will be more focused science instruction for third-grade students. Students in fourth through eighth grade, in-person instruction will focus on reading, math and science as well as at least one enrichment activity.
