Governor Cooper to address plans for K-12 education on Tuesday at 3:00 pm
Governor Cooper is scheduled to hold a press conference online on July 14 at 3:00 p.m. He plans to share his decision on whether public school students in North Carolina will resume in-person education, if they will continue to utilize online learning or a blend of both. The broadcast will be streamed live at this here.
At the beginning of July, the governor delayed the decision on reopening the schools after closing them in March. Public schools in North Carolina are supposed to begin mid-August.
"Let me be clear. We want our schools open for in-person instruction in August," Cooper stated in a previous broadcast. "The classroom is the best place for children to learn.”
Lenoir County Public Schools has announced a survey for parents/caretakers on reopening school that is available in both English and Spanish. The deadline for completion is 11:59 PM Wednesday. The survey is located here: English and Spanish.
