Schools will open for in-person instruction under an updated Plan B that requires face coverings for all K-12 students, fewer children in the classroom, measures to ensure social distancing for everyone in the building, and other safety protocols. "The most important open- ing is that of our classroom doors. Our schools provide more than academics; they are vital to our children's' health, safety and emotional development," said Governor Cooper. "This is a diffi cult time for families with hard choices on every side. I am committed to working together to ensure our students and educators are as safe as possible and that children have opportuni- ties to learn in the way that is best for them and their fami- lies." The Strong Schools NC Public Health Toolkit outlines the updated requirements for Plan B. Districts may choose to operate under Plan C, which calls for remote learn- ing only, and health leaders recommend schools allow families to opt into all-remote learning. Modifi cations have been made to Plan B since it was released in June to make it more protective of public health. "After looking at the current scientifi c evidence and weigh- ing the risks and benefi ts, we have decided to move forward with today's balanced, fl exible approach which allows for in-person instruction as long as key safety requirements are in place in addition to re- mote learning options." said NCDHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen, MD. "We will contin- ue to follow the science and data and update recommen- dations as needed. We ask every North Carolinian to do their part to slow the spread of COVID-19 and follow the three W's: Wear a face cover- ing when in public, Wait 6 feet apart, Wash your hands." Governor Cooper also an- n o u n c e d that the state will provide at least fi ve r e u s a b l e face cover- ings for ev- ery student, teacher and school staff member in public schools. In June, the state provided packs of personal protective equipment to schools that included a two-month sup- ply of thermometers, surgi- cal masks, face shields and gowns for school nurses and delegated staff who provide health care to students. "Educators and stakehold- ers across our state have worked tirelessly to reopen our school buildings safely for our students, teachers and staff. Today, we take another critical step towards that goal. We also know families need to choose the option that is best for their children, so all school districts will provide remote learning options," said Eric Davis, Chairman of the State Board of Education. "In-person education is important for children, and it happens in the context of a community. This plan strikes the right balance be- tween health and safety and the benefi ts of having chil- dren learn in the classroom. We must all continue with proven measures to reduce COVID-19 transmission like wearing a face covering, keeping distance between people, and frequent hand and surface cleanings so we can move closer to safely re-opening public schools," said Dr. Theresa Flynn, M.D., M.P.H., FAAP, a practicing pediatrician who serves on the Board of Directors for the North Carolina Pediatric So- ciety and joined today's an- nouncement. Under Plan B, schools are required to follow key safety measures that include: • Require face coverings for all teachers and students K-12 • Limit the total number of students, staff and visitors within a school building to the extent necessary to ensure 6 feet distance can be main- tained when students/staff NC K-12 public schools require safety measures to re-open COOPER will be stationary • Conduct symptom screen- ing, including temperature checks • Establish a process and dedicated space for people who are ill to isolate and have transportation plans for ill stu- dents • Clean and disinfect high- touch surfaces in the school and transportation vehicles regularly • Require frequent hand washing throughout the school day and provide hand sanitizer at entrances and in every classroom • Discontinue activities that bring together large groups • Limit nonessential visitors and activities involving exter- nal groups • Discontinue use of self- service food or beverage dis- tribution In addition, schools are strongly recommended to follow additional safety mea- sures that include: • Designate hallways and entrance/exit doors as one- way • Keep students and teach- ers in small groups that stay together as much as possible • Have meals delivered to the classroom or have stu- dents bring food back to the classroom if social distancing is not possible in the cafeteria • Discontinue activities that bring together large groups • Place physical barriers such as plexiglass at recep- tion desks and similar areas More details can be found in the Strong Schools NC Public Health Toolkit.

In addition to the an- nouncement about school plans, Governor Cooper shared that North Carolina will remain paused in Safer at Home Phase 2 after the cur- rent Executive Order expires on Friday, July 17. "As we continue to see ris- ing case numbers and hospi- talizations, we will stay in Saf- er at Home Phase 2 for three more weeks," said Governor Cooper. "Our re-opening pri- ority is the school building doors, and in order for that to happen we have to work to stabilize our virus trends." "While all school re-entry plans have their challenges during this pandemic, our superintendents, principals, and other school leaders will continue to prioritize student and staff safety in reopen- ing schools under the cau- tious parameters outlined today by the Governor," said North Carolina Association of School Administrators Execu- tive Director Katherine Joyce. "We look forward to continu- ing work with the Governor, the General Assembly, and other state leaders to ensure our schools have the support needed to get student learn- ing back on track in the safest manner possible in each local district." "I recognize Governor Coo- per faced a very diffi cult de- cision. The good news is that local school boards can now begin to offi cially put their school reopening plans in motion," said Brenda Ste- phens, President of the North Carolina School Board As- sociation. "While the current situation may not be ideal for all, I'm confi dent North Caro- lina's educators will continue to provide students with the best education possible.
