The Wake County Board of Education will be recognized by the National School Boards Association for its outstanding achievements and continued progress in public education at its upcoming Council of Urban Boards of Education (CUBE) conference in Austin, TX.
WCPSS is one of five districts to be featured at the conference scheduled for October 8-10. School Board Chair Kevin L. Hill and Superintendent Del Burns will represent the system. Hill will participate in presentations discussing Wake County’s work with its diversity policy.
“As part of the CUBE Award process, we are gratified that the National School Boards Association has recognized the hard work which has brought us to where we are as a school system today,” said Hill. “The dedication of our principals and teachers along with support from parents and the community has given us the opportunity to be recognized by our peers.”
The Council of Urban Boards of Education was established in 1967 by the National School Boards Association. There are more than 100 urban school boards in 35 states and the Virgin Islands representing more than 12,000 schools and 8 million students.
