As the Durham Public Schools board prepares to gather Wednesday for a special meeting to discuss “attorney-client privileged information” and a personnel matter, the Durham Association of Educators (DAE) was planning two important events, ABC11 learned Tuesday evening.
Ahead of classes on Wednesday, staffers and educators told ABC11 that they will hold a “walk-in” at more than 30 schools across the district.
What’s a walk-in? A representative with the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) said it’s to be seen as a show of unity for employees affected by the pay crisis. Classes will not be canceled Wednesday, a contrast to Monday when
seven schools were forced to close
because of staffing shortages.
On Tuesday evening, DAE released a list of schools where the walk-ins will take place:
- Bethesda Elementary, Brogden Middle, Carrington Middle, Club Blvd Elementary, Creekside Elementary, Durham School of the Arts, E.K. Powe Elementary, Easley Elementary, Eastway Elementary, Eno Valley Elementary, Forestview Elementary, George Watts Elementary, Hillandale Elementary, Hillside High, Hope Valley Elementary, Jordan High, Lakewood Elementary, Lyons Farm Elementary, Mangum Elementary, Merrick-Moore Elementary, Morehead Montessori Middle, Northern High, Pearsontown Elementary, R.N. Harris Elementary, Rogers-Herr Middle, Sandy Ridge Elementary, Shepard Middle, Southern High, Southwest Elementary, Spring Valley Elementary. The School for Creative Studies, The Whitted School Pre-K. W.G. Pearson Elementary, Y.E. Smith Elementary
