We are very appreciative of the North Carolina Supreme Court granting a stay of the Superior Court ruling. We are cautiously optimistic and are grateful that parents will for a time continue to have a say in their child’s school calendar in the Wake County Public School System.

Recently, an editorial in the News & Observer encouraged the WCPSS Board of Education to reach out to and work with parents affected by the hardships of a forced year round calendar. We echo that sentiment, and continue to hope that the WCPSS will be responsive to parents on this issue.

Again, we thank all of those who support WakeCARES, and encourage you to join our email list, and donate to our organization as we continue to advocate for parent’s rights in the Wake County Public School System.
