Bill summary

Senate amendment amends the 1st edition as follows.

Concerning the proposed mandate that all local school administrative units provide the option of in-person instruction to K-12 students of their unit for the remainder of the scheduled 2020-21 school year, now requires compliance with the Strong Schools NC Public Health Toolkit, as it existed on February 2, 2021, rather than December 4, 2020, for implementation of Plan A (Minimal Social Distancing) and Plan B (Moderate Social Distancing) as appropriate for reopening. Regarding the provision of in-person instruction under Plan A to all students enrolled in the respective school with an individualized education program or a federal section 504 plan, as defined, excepts from this reopening plan situations where in-person instruction is not permitted under that student's program or plan. Additionally, modifies the required components of in-person instruction to include meal service, rather than lunch service.
