Our school district is one of the top 10 largest in the state, serving more than 32,000 students in both the city and county of Durham. Durham is on an upward trend, recognized all over as one of the hot spots in the south -- from food to history to music to education -- more and more people are learning what those of us here already know: Durham is the place to be!
Durham's public schools are nearly as diverse as our 300,000+ residents. The school system offers a wealth of options for students and families; we have something for every kind of learner.
Durham Public Schools accepts all children with compassion and a commitment to meet each child wherever he or she is along the learning spectrum, and grow together from there.
I applaud the efforts to get black boys educated and jobs. If you don’t know, $68 trillion in inheritance will be poured into their millennials heirs (mostly white). We now know labor is not where wealth is being created, it’s inheritance and home ownership. What can be done to make up the wealth gap when so many of our counterparts will be living off the cake of inheritance plus higher wages?
That was AMAZING, Kendall! Well done. You did a great job with your descriptions, wait time, and articulation. I am so proud of you! A girl of so many talents!
