Wake County Schools Understaffed, Study Finds | Durham News

A new study reveals Wake County schools are critically understaffed in 21 of 32 central service areas, with only 5 meeting benchmarks — and none overstaffed. Despite budget cuts and community debates over central office size, the research shows deep staffing gaps, especially for school psychologists (serving 1,200+ students each vs. a benchmark of 500) and superintendents (overseeing 22 schools on average, far above comparable districts). The findings, seen as a wake-up call, link funding shortfalls and potential tax caps to operational strain — urging residents and state leaders to act before things get worse.
