Raleigh, N.C. – Legislation providing weeks of additional in-classroom learning recovery for North Carolina students this summer will be detailed by state House leaders in a press conference this Tuesday at 11:00 am in the General Assembly.

Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) has said for months that extending in-person education opportunities this summer to struggling North Carolina students, who suffer disproportionately from closed classrooms, is a priority of the state House of Representatives.
 
Speaker Moore will advance legislation with House leaders this week to provide a framework for extended in-classroom education for North Carolina families who choose to participate this summer.
