In 2024, the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) will be implementing a year-round calendar for 24 schools. This new calendar is designed to alleviate overcrowding and provide more breaks throughout the year. As a parent of a child in one of these schools, I was initially skeptical about the change. However, after learning more about the benefits and attending meetings with WCPSS officials, I am now a supporter of the new calendar.
