Donations through NCPTA will purchase supplies to support Public School Students, Teachers and Families Across North Carolina
RALEIGH: This week, Governor Roy Cooper kicks off the 4th Annual Governor’s School Supply Drive. Like so many annual events, public health precautions have required the drive to go fully online, and this year features a new partner in the North Carolina Parent Teacher Association. On average, teachers spend about $500 of their own money on supplies for their classrooms each year.

Want to get paid to tutor students? NC is looking for 200 people to help in schools.
|
North Carolina is recruiting 200 people to work in 18 school districts across the state, including Wake and Durham counties, to help students who’ve been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
The new North Carolina Education Corps is recruiting people who are willing to commit at least 10-15 hours a week for six months, starting in January, doing things like tutoring and mentoring students. Corps members will be paid at least $13.15 an hour to work either part time or full time and either remotely or in person in schools.
The “priority” application deadline is Sunday, although applications will be accepted through Dec. 7. Organizers will pick people in December to train them before they start working with the school districts in January.
