Governor Cooper spoke of the Bill say- ing, "This pandemic has challenged students and teachers like never be- fore. Providing a summer opportunity for academic growth plus mental and physical health will help schools begin to address those challenges." Specifically, House Bill 82 will create a six week in-person and fully- funded summer school program available to every family if they so choose. "Parents are ready to see their children going back to school and to re- cover from the learning loss that has occurred during the pandemic," said Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland), who is also the lead sponsor of the bill. "After bipartisan work from the House and Senate and input from educators around the state, this legislation will give North Carolina families an option for their children to grow and learn during this sum- mer." Rep. John Torbett (R- Gaston), who is Chair of the House K-12 Educa- tion Committee, said, "I am proud to have been a primary sponsor of HB 82. This legislation is cru- cial for us to combat the learning deficit that has occurred due to the pan- demic. As always, I will continue to work on leg- islation that will help our children during this time so that they can reach their American Dream." The summer school program would offer core academic courses, as well as enrichment classes in the arts and physical activities. The bill has strong support from local superinten- dents and education advocates, including Dis- ability Rights NC.
