Wake teachers, students are missing some instructional materials. What's the holdup?

Teachers at dozens of Wake County schools are still waiting to get copies of instructional materials that would have normally arrived before the start of a new quarter of classes last week. Wake County teachers were told last week that delivery dates hadn’t been released yet by the district’s printer for second quarter math materials for traditional-calendar elementary schools and English language arts materials for middle schools. Teachers were also warned that funding hasn’t been secured yet for print instructional materials for the third and fourth quarters. “Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we coordinate the delivery of these materials to support teaching and learning during Quarter 2,” Wake said in a message to schools.
