Today is the day! I, along with the other eight elected representatives, will be sworn in as a Wake County Board of Education Board Member. I'm honored to have this opportunity to represent D9. As a way to further connection with D9, I decided to start a blog to journal about meetings, upcoming events, and important issues. I hope you will find this helpful.

There are multiple meetings today. All of the following meetings will be streamed live on the WCPSS YouTube Channel. 
If you wish to submit public comments for today's meetings, you can submit written or video comments until noon. Please visit this link for more information.

Thank you again for your support. If you have questions or comments, please reach out to me at kcarter3@wcpss.net.
