House Bill 82 Summer Learning Choice for NC Families would provide six-weeks of classroom in- struction, five days a week, for families who choose to participate this summer. The programs are targeted to students falling behind during remote learning but are available to all North Carolina families. The bill is designed to encourage student partici- pation by offering core aca- demic courses mixed with enrichment and physical activities. It provides time flexibility to local school districts by prescribing hours requirements in- stead of days, allowing dis- tricts to tailor the program to their specific needs. Disability Rights NC joined local superinten- dents in support of the leg- islation in public comments to the House Education Committee. "This bill will positively impact students with dis- abilities who are at risk of retention, particularly mid- dle school and high school students who have been subject to 100% remote in- struction for nearly a year," attorney Meisha Evans with Disability Rights NC told the House Education K-12 Committee. "There are students with disabilities who do not have access to remote instruction due to the na- ture and severity of their disability. This bill will give students with disabilities a chance to make up some of the critical in-person in- struction that they lost." Harnett County Schools Superintendent Dr. Aaron Fleming spoke in favor of the legislation on Tuesday. "There's no doubt that losing close to a full year of full-time, face-to-face in- struction, we are starting to see a lot of loss of learning in our student population," Dr. Fleming said. "Being physically pres- ent in a classroom with a quality teacher is best for our students. This bill will help us in regaining some, but certainly not all, of this time back. It is an opportu- nity for our students at the most significant risk of fall- ing behind to catch up and prepare for the next grade level or course." Mt. Airy City Schools Superintendent Dr. Kim Morrison said her district had over 400 students at- tend a summer program in 2020, and the success of those classes informed her support for the bill. "Each district is differ- ent, in their local context, need for programs, access to resources, and support for students," Dr. Morrison said. "I believe that House Bill 82, at its heart, sup- ports what we fundamen- tally believe, which is that summer programs are a good start to a productive academic school year. Our goal is to work with the state legislature to provide a strong network of support for every student in our state. We appreciate your willingness to give local flexibility when possible, such as allowing districts to decide how many hours are needed each week... and opening the possibil- ity for retirees to come to work." Speaker Moore ad- dressed the House Edu- cation K-12 Committee on Tuesday. "This bill simply provides for a very robust summer learning program to allow these children to get caught up from missed time away from in-person classes," Speaker Moore said. "We hear support for this from parents, teach- ers, administrators, and really from everyone in- volved, so I hope this bill will get good bipartisan support. It stands for the proposition that we know these children have really had a difficult time with COVID-19, not having that classroom experience, and giving them a very robust summer program." H.B. 82 was approved by the House Education K-12 Committee and the House Committee on Pen- sions and Retirement on Tuesday. It was heard in the House Rules Commit- tee and the full state House of Representatives passed it on Wednesday, Feb. 24. That day the Senate read the bill and it passed its first reading. It as re- ferred to the Committee on Rules and Operations for consideration.
