Michael Hyland, WCNC – Republicans in the General Assembly are determining their next steps in the push to open schools for more kids to come back in person, as they lose support from some Democrats who had been in favor of a bill requiring schools to offer in-person learning. Rep. Graig Meyer (D-Orange/Caswell) was one of eight Democrats who joined with Republicans in the state House of Representatives and voted in favor of the bill. Gov. Roy Cooper (D) vetoed it, and now Meyer questions whether it’s even necessary.
