Posted on May 4, 2016 by A.P. Dillon

In the March contracts update at the State Board of Education meeting, the first contract on the list is for the KEA — Kindergarten Entry Assessment.

Posted on May 1, 2016 by A.P. Dillon

An article by Colin Campbell reads, NC Republicans embrace pro-HB2 religious groups; Democrats distant from NAACP’s Barber.
