All drivers should be ready for more traffic on the roads and drive slowly in school zones. Here are some helpful tips and reminders.
Schools in Wake County and across the state are dealing with a shortage of school bus drivers, which may cause some delays.
Each year, children are injured or killed when drivers don't stop or slow down for buses. Most of us know all vehicles must stop for school buses on two lane roads, even if there is a turn lane.
Those caught violating the law can get a $500 fine and points on their license.
Several area school systems—including those in Wake, Durham and Johnston counties—are raising school meal prices.
The Wake County Public School System is raising prices of all meals by $0.25, to $3 or $3.25 for lunch and $1.50 or $1.75 for breakfast, depending on the school level.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, meals were free for all students. Students can still apply for free or reduced lunch.
