PROTECTING OUR STUDENTS ACT info: Per North Carolina House Bill 142, all students in grades 6-12 are required to view videos within the first five days of school as part of the Protecting Our Students Act. (You may visit https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2023/Bills/House/PDF/H142v5.pdf to read the law.)
