At its May 5th meeting, the Wake County Board of Education adopted a resolution in response to Governor Purdue's Executive Order 11, Flexible Furlough. While recognizing the economic crisis facing the state, they asked that:
- the State Board of Education take whatever action necessary to reduce the minimum 180 instructional day requirement by one day for the 2008-09 school year to allow this time to be used by teachers and staff who otherwise might not be able to use this time.
- In addition the resolution requested that alternative methods for balancing the State budget that adequately address the complexities of operating a local school district be sought.
