OBITUARIES OBITUARIES I N RE M E M I N RE M E M B RA N C E Governor Roy Cooper announced Friday that North Carolina K-12 public schools will continue remote learning through the end of the 2019- 2020 school year. Cooper was joined by the State Su- perintendent of Public In- struction Mark Johnson and the Chair of the State Board of Education Eric Davis for the announcement. "School buildings will stay closed to students for this school year, but school isn't over," said Governor Cooper. "The decision to fin- ish the year by remote learn- ing was not made lightly, but it is the right thing to do to protect our students, teach- ers and communities. This is a difficult time for many children and parents, and I am grateful for all the educa- tors, administrators, support staff and parents who have gone the extra mile to keep children learning." Cooper underscored the needs for schools to continue to provide school nutrition programs now and into the summer, and to be look- ing ahead and planning for when it is safe to re-convene schools in person. This in- cludes how to get students back on track, especially those who have not been able to access remote learning or were already behind when schools closed to in-person instruction. To help students without home internet access online learning opportunities, Coo- per today announced a part- nership to equip more school buses with Wi-Fi. School buses with Wi-Fi will travel to areas that lack internet so students can turn in assign- ments, download materials, and connect with teachers. AT&T is providing 100 hot spots, Duke Energy Founda- tion is providing 80, and ad- ditional partners are expected to join the effort. State public health offi- cials are developing safety guidelines for schools to fol- low when classes are able to convene in person, as well as guidance for summer camps and other groups that use school facilities. Cooper also released a recommended budget plan to invest $1.4 billion in emergency funds to help North Carolina respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Funding for this proposal would come predominantly from the state's share of the federal CARES Act Corona- virus Relief Fund (CRF) and would be appropriated by the North Carolina General As- sembly in its upcoming ses- sion. The budget package is intended to fund immediate needs in three main areas: • Public health and safety • Continuity of operations for education and other state government services • Assistance to small businesses and local govern- ments. "The COVID-19 pan- demic has affected every North Carolinian. This emergency funding proposal makes strong investments in public health, schools, local governments and small busi- nesses to respond to this unprecedented crisis," said Cooper. Governor Cooper and State Budget Director Char- lie Perusse worked with state agencies, local governments, and other stakeholders to identify what immediate COVID-related needs were unmet by existing federal and commercial assistance to build a budget proposal that is responsive and re- sponsible. Key investments from this proposal include: • $75 million to support testing, tracing and trends analysis as well as have the Personal Protective Equip- ment needed to help North Carolina move into Phase 1 of easing restrictions; • $78 million for school nutrition to continue to serve as many as 500,000 meals a day to children who depend on these meals to meet basic nutrition needs typically met in school; • $75 million for rural and underserved communities and health care providers that are particularly hard hit by COVID-19; • $243 million for public schools to enhance remote learning and get ready for the next school year in a "new normal." Funds are a joint re- quest from DPI and the State Board of Education. • $52 million to the UNC system and private colleges to help with remote learning and COVID-19 impacts; • $300 million to assist local governments, distrib- uted based partially on popu- lation and partially on acute need. "We know that people are hurting, businesses are strug- gling, and local governments are facing severe shortages. That's why we have to act now to get resources in the hands of people and orga- nizations that provide vital support," said Cooper. Governor Cooper and State Budget Director Char- lie Perusse have been in discussions with leaders of the North Carolina General Assembly for several weeks to develop a consensus COVID-19 budget package that can be approved swiftly when the legislature returns next week. Elements of this package have already been announced as having con- sensus support, including a significant investment in an already operating bridge loan program for small businesses through the Golden L.E.A.F. Foundation. "This plan is a first step, and while it may not have all that North Carolina needs moving forward I present it in the spirit of compromise and consensus so that we can get relief to families fast," said Cooper.
