NCDHHS does not keep a change log in the StrongSchools toolkit for the revisions they make to it. That makes it hard to tell what was changed.
Here are the major changes I found that were on pg 3 of the Feb. 2 version, but now cover pgs 3-4. (thread) #ncpol #nced
There is a new paragraph which reads begins with the text "On February 12..."

files.nc.gov/covid/document…
The section immediately below new text on pg 3 has been altered. "Local flexiblity and Planning for Different Scenarios" was moved out of the bullet points and renamed "Operational Flexibility and Planning for Different Scenarios"
Left image is Mar. 3, the right image is Feb. 2
Going back to the new paragraph mentioning the CDC, there is a link that goes here:
cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
There was a press release that dropped at 3:50 pm today on the changes, which do not appear to be substantive at first glance. The release puts the onus on the state board of Ed whether or not to accept the changes.

NCDHHS presentation lists toolkit changes and updates on the COVID testing pilot in schools.
FWIW, I've been trying to get an update on that pilot since January but no response from DHHS.

Last night, the NC Democratic Party sent out this press release mocking Republicans for trying to get schools opened with another override of #SB37, characterizing the motion as "political games."

Here is a close-up of the cartoon depicting @NCHouseSpeaker and @SenatorBerger as not having a plan but the governor does.
Cooper is holding a leaflet that says Hybrid Learning + CDC. The cartoon went a few hours after Sec. Cohen altered the NCDHHS StrongSchools Toolkit.
The reality is the opposite of the cartoon, starting with Cooper's 2-week delayed school statement last July that said schools could open under Plan B... OR Plan C.
Most chose C, keeping the bulk of NC's 1.5m students at home.

The NC Board of Ed meeting is happening now.
Listen here:

#ncpol #nced
"Refinement requests" have been made.
See the full presentation doc here:
simbli.eboardsolutions.com/Meetings/Attac…

#nced #ncpol
Some of those refinements have to do with the inclusion of Critical Race Theory themed elements and some standards have an 'action' component.
