Tillis Statement on Bipartisan Agreement To Reopen North Carolina Schools

Statement

Today, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) released the following statement on the bipartisan agreement to reopen schools in North Carolina:

"I've heard countless stories from North Carolina parents about the hardships their families and children have faced as a result of remote learning, especially for students with physical and intellectual disabilities who need in-person schooling and services. I am glad that Governor Cooper, Speaker Moore, and Senator Berger were able to reach a bipartisan compromise to get students back to school safely and quickly. School reopenings in North Carolina and the rest of the nation must be based on what the scientists--not powerful unions--tell us, and I remain committed to pushing commonsense legislation to support our school districts as they put the well-being of students first by safely resuming in-person learning."
