COLOMBIA, SC (WCSC) – South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster says it is unacceptable that there are still students who cannot attend classes in person five days a week.
McMaster released a series of tweets on Monday, where he said he expected legislation soon that would allow all students to return to class full time.
In the post, McMaster released a video highlighting his position on face-to-face education during the course of the pandemic.
The governor said that only 45 of South Carolina’s 79 school districts are offering all students the opportunity to attend classes five days a week. McMaster says, “Every parent in the state should be able to make that decision based on what is best for their families.”
Of all the schools in the state, about 20% of them still follow a hybrid style of learning, with classroom and virtual classes.
In Lowcountry, Colleton County, Orangeburg County and Dorchester District 4 still use this hybrid model.
