Jen Mangrum, former candidate for state superintendent.

The following statement by Jen Mangrum, Democratic candidate for state Superintendent of Public Instruction, was released by the North Carolina Democratic Party.

“I applaud the prudence and leadership Governor Cooper showed today in unveiling his plan for reopening our public schools. ‘Plan B’ puts in place clear safety standards to protect our students, educators, and staff while giving local school leaders the leeway they need to make preparations and choices that best suit the needs of every district. As the Governor said today, the situation can change quickly and we must continue to be vigilant and make the necessary adjustments to this plan based on the science and the facts.”
