Nearly a third of North Carolina’s public school students will have a holiday today (May 16) as schools systems across NOrth Carolina close for teachers to attend a rally in the Capital City.
Thousands are expected to be in Raleigh for the “March for Students and Rally for Respect.”
The marchers begin at the NCAE Center at 700 S. Salisbury Street. Then walk down the sidewalk of Fayetteville Street, across the Capitol Grounds (sidewalks only), down Bicentennial Plaza and then to the Legislative Buildings.
