“In effect, policies that use standardized test results to evaluate, reward, and sanction students and school personnel are doing nothing more than rewarding schools that serve advantaged students and punishing schools that serve disadvantaged students.” #nced #ncpol

@DurmBull @CTruittNC DPS would get $70 million if the state would fulfill their constitutional obligation to provide a sound basic education. Instead they're taking the case back to court for a third time after the court ruled that the legislature must pay more the first two times. #Leandro

@CTruittNC Can the state step in and do anything here? Durham parents and students are kind of fed up. My understanding is these folks were offered a 15% raise and still called out.

While I sympathize with the teachers and other school personnel over the incompetence that is Durham Public Schools’ leadership, you should NEVER walk out on your students. #ncga #ncpol #nced cbs17.com/news/local-new…

Are you effing kidding me. This is rich from Cathy who has done nothing to convince her NCGA besties to care about adequately funding NC public schools.

@wltregay Well-liked as far as I know. Should be a good thing for DPS I think.

@chimpsea How was she at Wake?

Whoa, Catty Moore going to DPS.

@wltregay It was weird how the board announced it, I was questioning whether I'd imagined it. They were just talking about random things before closed session and mentioned it.

@chimpsea What?

Just got an email from #DPS @DurhamPublicSch central office that "the entire transportation support staff" have called out for tomorrow.

I spy @JoshChapinABC11 having pretzels for dinner at this DPS school board meeting.

And still zero open communication from NCSU for those of us who spent years in Poe.

@DurhamsNatSauce I'm really confused about it, but not a reporter. I've read as much as I can today and still don't really get it.

@JFING12 @LSchlemmer_WUNC I've been hearing this, too.

Does anyone in the #nced world know of another time that educator protests have closed an entire school district for a day??

Durham schools superintendent Pascal Mubenga resigns after accounting error sparks chaos. District CFO resigned already. The past few weeks have seen staff protests that led to school closures. (Via @maryhelenmoore) #nced #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/local/edu…

@DurhamsNatSauce Whoa!

My alma maters are playing each other and we just happen to be in MHK for game day! 💜💜💜 GO STATE!

The Marlins put up quite a fight against the Tigers in the semifinals, but in the end Gideon's season ended tonight. We're so proud of his growth this year and continue to be impressed with @raleighparks Fall youth baseball!

Update: the rain held off just long enough for us to get to the third inning, which is just what we needed!

Final regular season game before playoffs, and the rain held off. It's a perfect night for some baseball! @raleighparks
