On May 1, some NC teachers’ plan to use a personal leave day to travel to Raleigh for a rally. The rally’s demands are:

• Increased school support staff (nurses, psychologists, etc.) to national recommended recommendations
• $15 minimum wage for all school personnel, 5% raise for educators, 5% cost of living adjustment for retirees
• Medicaid expansion
• Reinstating state retiree health benefits
• Restoring master’s pay.

So far, 22 school districts have cancelled class that day. Do you support the decision of teachers to rally in Raleigh? Share your thoughts with us below
