May 1st Schedule
Union County Public Schools will operate on a normal schedule May 1, 2019. UCPS has partnered with the Union County Association of Educators (UCAE) and the UCPS Professional Advisory Council on a plan to send a delegation of teachers/staff, from each school, where possible, to Raleigh on May 1.
As a forward thinking school system, several of the concerns raised by the NCAE have already been addressed by the Union County Board of Education and senior leadership through direct advocacy with state legislators.
We want to thank our teachers/staff and the leaders of our teacher representative groups for their partnership as we work to maintain a school day that is focused on high-quality instruction in a safe learning environment.
