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. Sara Clark, a district spokesperson, said the materials for this quarter and the rest of the school year will be delivered to schools at some point. But no additional information was provided to The News & Observer by the district as of Monday about when the materials will be delivered and why it was delayed this year. Instructional materials delayed Wake provides a Chromebook for every K-12 student to use in class. Printed materials are used to supplement the classroom instruction. In addition,

Why DEQ trusted a Raleigh real estate agent with the site of a massive hog waste spill

Four years ago, millions of gallons of hog waste spilled from a Wayne County hog farm and into a nearby swamp. But this year, the same hog farm has continued to leak sludge into public waterways and violate its environmental requirements, racking up thousands in fines. The farm’s new owner, who bought it at auction in 2024, hasn’t paid any of these fines, nor has he submitted several requested reports to the state. In fact, the farm’s new owner has never run such a farm himself. He’s a Raleigh-based real estate agent named Wallace Green operating under the name Biox Renewables, a one-person limited liability corporation that has no website and no office. The farm, formerly called White Oak Farms, is home to an anaerobic digester — a device that captures the methane from hog manure and turns it into renewable energy. Businesses that own a farm with a digester are subject to supposedly strict permitting requirements. Green, however, has faced few consequences for failing to comply with those requirements. He doesn’t have any full-time employees overseeing the farm’s pits of hog waste. He’s over a year behind on submitting required documents to the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality, prompting
