As North Carolina heads into the fall, schools from kindergarten to the university level are facing a new variety of challenges while trying to implement late-issued guidance and adapt to the needs of families and students.
In a July 27 article in the Carolina Journal, Terry Stoops, vice president of research and director of education studies at the John Locke Foundation, was said that the state’s reopening proposals for K-12 schools are “comically impractical.”
Schools received specific guidance from the state on July 14, when Gov. Ray Cooper said schools would have to choose between full-time remote instruction or a hybrid model that permits some in-person education, according to the post.
At the post-secondary level, the University of North Carolina has decided to continue to charge fees and tuition at the same rate, regardless of any changes to classes or schedules, according to the post. However, community colleges such as Wake Technical Community College have opted to wave fees in light of the changes in response to COVID-19
