Board Approves Character Education Policy
At its April 5, 2005 meeting, the Board of Education put into policy what has been practice in the classroom for more than 10 years. The board gave final approval to Character Education Policy 5130, which formalizes practices and beliefs related to the importance of character education and a positive learning environment in the Wake County Public School System. This policy reflects the eight character traits adopted by WCPSS in 1993 and focuses on curriculum, climate and community involvement as core components of the Character Education Program.
