Wake County PTA Council president Teresa Jones says what NC General Assembly is doing to public schools is 'obscene,' by not providing enough funding & caring more about kids not having inclusive books than in having them learn to read. #wcpss #nced #ncpol #ncga

[Keung Hui @nckhui]

Wake County school board vice chair Chris Heagarty says the delay in General Assembly adopting a state budget is hurting NC public schools. He says they can't tell staff such as bus drivers & teachers for certainty what they'll be paid next month, #wcpss #nced #ncpol #ncga
