Gov. Roy Cooper announced late Saturday afternoon that all in-person public-school instruction in North Carolina would stop for two weeks, starting Monday.

Schools will be closed to students in kindergarten through 12th grade from March 16-30. This does not affect the community college or university system, even though many of those schools have already decided to have classes remotely for the next week.

Some school districts in the state, including Wake County, already had made the decision to close schools.

In addition to the closure, Gov. Cooper said he’s created a working group to address other needs, including remote learning and providing meals for students through school resources, including buses for delivery to individual homes. N.C. Superintendent of Public Instruction Mark Johnson previously announced that the state had received a waiver from the US Department of Agriculture that will offer eligible children meals due to unanticipated school closings.
