Glenwood Elementary’s Future in Question | Raleigh News

Glenwood Elementary is set to close after the 2026-2027 school year due to declining enrollment — but the real drama’s just beginning. With students needing new homes and beloved STEAM2 and Mandarin immersion programs at risk, parents are rallying, fearing disruption and loss of what made Glenwood special. The board’s weighing two options: dump everyone at Rashkis or split them between Rashkis and Mary Scroggs — while also trying to avoid creating new inequities. Community feedback sessions are underway, and a final decision looms for August 20th. This isn’t just about numbers — it’s about preserving what families built.

Cyclosporiasis Outbreak in North Carolina | Raleigh News

Cyclosporiasis cases are surging nationwide—with over 1,600 reported and more than 300 in North Carolina, including 15 in Orange County. Caused by a parasite, the illness typically causes watery diarrhea, cramps, and nausea, though some patients have been hospitalized. While most cases aren’t spreading person-to-person, two in Orange County are tied to international travel, and Wake County accounts for most of the state’s cases. Health officials are investigating fresh produce like lettuce, cilantro, and parsley as potential sources, but recent tests on a suspected supplier came back negative, leaving the exact cause in NC unknown. Hospitals are seeing a sharp uptick in cases. Experts advise washing produce thoroughly (though it won’t kill the parasite), cooking it to be safe, and those with weakened immune systems should avoid raw veggies. Frozen and canned produce remain safe. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
