NCAE President Tamika Walker Kelly on the impact of the delayed state budget

Year-round schools are back in session and traditional calendar schools are opening in just a few short weeks. Over at the NC General Assembly, however, lawmakers have yet to turn in their homework – a state budget. The result: great uncertainty for administrators seeking to gear up for the new year – particularly in addressing the state’s chronic teacher shortage. Meanwhile, the lack of budget action hasn’t stopped lawmakers from advancing a raft of bills to micromanage the day-to-day school operations, and recently, in order to gauge how all of these developments are impacting out beleaguered state teaching corps, we caught up with the president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, Tamika Walker Kelly. And as Walker Kelly told NC Newsline, while they wish lawmakers would do more to support them, educators continue to rise to the occasion.
