The Wake County Public School System values these collaborative relationships. From this beginning seed, numerous business alliances evolved at the school sites. A recent collaboration with the NC Partnership for Excellence and Glaxo Wellcome is providing nine East Wake area schools with significant staff development in Continuous Quality Improvement. Through the valuable work of the many active members, schools receive volunteers and enrichment programs. There is significant parent and volunteer involvement in schools on a daily basis.
Special relationships exist between Wake County schools and the postsecondary institutions.
