More than 80% of respondents explicitly said that ending the first semester with exams BEFORE the winter break was … Continue reading What The Hell, WSFCS School Board?

You can't make this up. https://twitter.com/i/status/1999494409075728626 That's the same grinch who had to do this because of other things that were stolen from under the tree. And I'm pretty sure that the font on that sequined jacket is not Time New Roman.

From Bible Hub, specifically Matthew 6:6: So here is another explanation of why the WSFCS school system went into so much debt: "Not long after we kicked God off the dais, as we may phrase it, we found that our debt had ballooned to nearly $50 million," board member Steve Wood told host Bill Mixon on … Continue reading “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen” unless it is a school board meeting.

Take a look at this social media post. These are the same people who came at the request of Phil Berger, redrew congressional maps to gain an extra House seat, and passed it without debate - ALL WITHIN 48 HOURS - who can't even get a state budget passed over the span of months. Sen. … Continue reading You Lyin’ Son-of-a-Biscuit Eater. You’ve Had Over 12 Years To “Fix” Teacher Pay (& Public Education).

Throughout North Carolina, every local school board is wrestling with not just how to negotiate the lack of a new state budget and increasing monies given to vouchers.

I do not … Continue reading This Past Year Has Shown Us That Local School Board Elections Are That Important For Every NC School System

If you are in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School district as either staff or student, the options given for the school calendar for 2026-2027 are much more divergent than at first glance. Why? Because it doesn't tell you when the exams will be given. The "traditional" calendar has the first semester after the winter break. That … Continue reading WSFCS – One Calendar Option Is Much Better Than The Other
