#wcpss #nced #ncpol #wakepol #ralpol Long Twitter thread incoming about Wake County school board campaign finance reports. SBOE still hasn't posted the 3rd quarter reports yet for Doug Hammack & Chris Heagarty. The biggest donors by far are Dean Debnam, the owner of Public Policy
Polling, & his wife, Sesha. They each gave max $5,600 donation to the 7 Democratic backed candidates whose 3rd quarter reports are on file, for a total of $78,400. If they also gave max to Hammack & Heagarty, then it would reach $100K. The Debnams provided most of the money for
Monika Johnson-Hostler & Tara Waters. There's no one person or couple who has given nearly as much to the GOP backed candidates. For instance, reports show Bob Luddy gave money to only some of the GOP candidates. Here's how much each candidate has raised as of the 3rd quarter. If
they're not listed, it means they're raising less than $1K & don't have to give reports. District 1: Cheryl Caulfield ($8,094), Ben Clapsaddle ($20,195). District 2: Monika Johnson-Hostler ($15,290), Monic Ruiz ($4,656). District 3: Doug Hammack (report not posted yet by SBOE),
Wing Ng ($52,959). District 4: Becky Lew-Hobbs ($7,511), Tara Waters ($14,963). District 5: Jackie Boegel ($8,310), Lynn Edmonds ($36,561). District 6: Sam Hershey ($28,906), Patrice Nealon ($32,755), Chad Stall ($7,777). District 7: Jacob Arthur ($53,865), Chris Heagarty
($16,282 in mid-year report. 3rd quarter not posted yet), Katie Long ($19,445). District 8: Steve Bergstrom ($39,288), Lindsay Mahaffey ($36,091). District 9: Michele Morrow ($29,115), Tyler Swanson ($68,294). View reports at cf.ncsbe.gov/CFOrgLkup/
We'll know for sure after we get the final post-campaign numbers, but individually it's still less than what some candidates raised during the contentious 2011 election.

#nced #ncpol Questions emerged at today's State Board of Education meeting about whether gender identity might be added to the new K-12 healthful living standards being developed for North Carolina public schools. Board member Olivia Oxendine asked Ellen Essick, DPI section chief
for healthy schools, if gender identity would be included in the future standards. Essick said gender identity isn't in the current standards but she couldn't say yet if they'll be in the new standards because they haven't been written yet. Supt. Catherine Truitt said she and
Mary Hemphill, DPI's chief academic officer, will personally select the members who will be on the writing teams for the new standards. Members are supposed to be healthful living teachers from across NC. Truitt also said there hasn't been as much parental response as hoped for

#nced #ncpol NC Charter Schools Advisory Board recommended today amendments to the agreement that charter schools must sign. Several amdts. touch on issues the state has had with some charters that are closing or new schools with questionable language. simbli.eboardsolutions.com/Meetings/Attac…
All of the changes reflect what's already in state law but are being included in the agreement to make clear what charters expected to do. For instance, one amdt. says the nonprofit that receives the charter can't enter into an agreement that lets a 3rd party assume control or
replace any members of the nonprofit, This was added b/c the original application for Wayne STEM Academy would have let the developer replace the school's board. CSAB recommended today state approval for Wayne STEM now that the wording about removing the board was dropped.

#nced #ncpol #ncga Rep. John Torbett's idea on Monday for moving electives online in NC schools: “The other one is also focusing on core subjects. Maybe look at your math, science, English, performing arts & social studies which incorporates history & have those instructional
teachers in the classroom face-to-face. Some of the other things such as electives you may be able to push out online, which would give you a more constricted time, more time to focus on your basics, your basics that we need to really make sure our kids are getting with that
teacher in a classroom. Some electives would just be the child signs up for that elective they can go home & take it on their machine. They can take it on Saturday. They can take it on Thursday night, Sunday afternoon. They can go in their Monday when they get home from school,

#nced #ncpol #ncga Rep. John Torbett's idea on Monday for changing how EOG & EOC tests are handled: "We talked about maybe when a child takes a test, get rid of end-of-grade testing for example. What we might want to do is each week or every other week whatever the teacher
decides to do, to gauge whether that child is learning at the pace they need to learn on. They do it maybe on their machine & then that machine goes to software that tabulates the score & tells that teacher in real time how each child in her class is doing, & that gives others
the opportunity to look at that class against other classes, that school against other schools, that district against other districts, state against state in real-time information & it’s cumulative. It rolls each & every week so then at the end of the year, or the end of the

#nced #ncpol #ncga Rep. John Torbett's idea on Monday for changing how NC schools are run to increase teacher compensation: "One might be for example is to remove the current structure in the school that we know now as principals or vice principals & put the leading element of
that school as a teacher, such like maybe an executive teacher, an executive educator so that they would be responsible for all of the educational needs of the students of those schools. They would still have classroom assignment, although it would be full based on where you are.
So a principal today may inevitably be an executive educator, which may teach 1, or 2 or 3 classes a week. They would still be in the classroom. The asst. principal may teach a few more classes, but they would also work on the educational needs of the student. Then each school
