The Editor’s Notes

Governor Roy Cooper, The Hunt Institute, and the NC Business Committee for Education are hosting the DRIVE Summit today. DRIVE stands for developing a representative and inclusive vision for education. The purpose of the summit is to move towards a new landscape in recruiting, developing, supporting, and retaining educators of color in North Carolina. Check out EducationNC’s Facebook page for a livestream, and follow us on Twitter for live tweets throughout the day.
