There are big FAFSA changes on the horizon. Learn why families with college-bound students should prepare to change their savings strategy along with it.

There are no words to express my joy about being allowed to teach and mentor these @HavelockHSBand students. This place, this moment, life is good. #HavelockBands

There's a nurse shortage...let's lower the qualifications.

There's an engineering shortage...let's lower the qualifications.

There's a pilot shortage...let's lower the qualifications.

If this sounds illogical, how does it make sense for teachers?

[blairdyal @pir8temom2]

Want to know why we can’t keep teachers in NC? The first scale is Fairfax County, VA. The second is NC. No masters pay. No incentive to stay after year 15. Say what you want about cost of living and whatever other excuses you have….NC is in an educational crisis. @ncLegislature

I’m pretty sure she has decided on @appstate. It’s really far from home but she is happy and excited and that’s all you can ask for your child! So proud of you @sarahlcrocker - the world is yours!
