Just love reading police reports where children disclose being hit in the mouth by their dad and the officer's documented response is to remind the children to be respectful and that corporal punishment is legal. Just tell though, right? Every. Single. Day.

North Carolina won’t pay teachers extra for having a master’s degree, but Wake County will now. Starting July 1, Wake County will compensate school employees who missed the state's 2013 cutoff to get paid more for having an advanced degree. #wcpss #nced newsobserver.com/news/local/edu…

Wake County school board approves $4.4 million plan to use local funds to pay school employees who missed the 2013 state cutoff to get extra pay for having a relevant master's or other higher degree. Pay raise goes into effect July 1. #wcpss #nced

It's national school social work week! Loving the theme this year! #werise2023

The percentage of physicians who are Black men was the same in 2018 as it was in 1940. 2.6% Let that sink in.

@BAccountabilty @bradaobrien @Pastakeith Will always be thankful for you Brad! @bradaobrien

Just had a very encouraging conversation with @bradaobrien and @Pastakeith! Some SBC pastors are listening and taking action. It was a glimmer of hope in my deep dark hopelessness in the SBC.

@Bec_Shrader And school social workers!

@kateshellnutt Can you post the number for the hotline?

Because the list was compiled using news stories and court records, we're unlikely to see never-before-reported names. Guidepost will continue to take reports via an interim hotline while the EC waits for decisions about a database, reporting, etc. at the annual meeting.

The list of abusive pastors uncovered in the EC investigation is supposed to be made public tomorrow, per EC president Willie McLaurin

"Since the start of the pandemic, WakeMed has seen a 66 percent increase in children and adolescents showing up at the emergency room with a behavioral health condition. That's about 155 children each month." wral.com/coronavirus/pe…

Wishing everyone a little more French toast in bed and laughter today. We could all use it.

We are beyond lucky to have these two amazing counselors at our school. Happy National Counselor Week to Mrs. Beck and Mrs. Penny!

Rep. Rachel Hunt says need to expand NC Teaching Fellows program & number of counselors, social workers & teacher assistants in schools. #nced #ncpol #ncga
