RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – The state-wide online education system for North Carolina students was down for part of Monday morning.
Just before 9:30 a.m., Moore County Schools confirmed issues with NCEdCloud are making it difficult for students to use the system or even log in. Durham Public Schools confirmed issues as well.
NCEdCloud is used to access PowerSchool and Canvas.
Nearly every school in all K-12 districts began classes Monday.
The system was back up just after 11:30 a.m.

Call Michelle. She has people with experience in this area.
Let the kids go to school. Any kid with asthma or other problem should wear a mask...but these kids need to breathe and fill their lungs (inhale) with fresh air and flush them (exhale) at the same time. It’s how our body works.
I think the entire thing is a cluster (fill in the blank).
My grandkids online schooling is like going through a maze. Assignments here, there and everywhere and not all in one place.
I wonder how that’s working out in cali with rolling blackou, uh, I mean scheduled power suspension going on due to the inability of the solar and wind generators to supply sufficient power.
Reminds me of the very first day that PowerSchool Enterprise version rolled out to it’s first big client - Fresno School District - way back in 2001. CRASH. ;-)
I know that many here are rooting for the public school system to collapse and it may well do so. But, look at what they are being asked to do. If they reopen and kids come down with the disease, even with kids’ apparent low death rate from Wuhan/CCP virus, the deaths will be laid at the school districts’ doors.
I guarantee you that if any numbers of kids catch it/test positive the schools that do open will very quickly shut down and we’ll find ourselves in the second year of broken school years.
So many districts are attempting/being required to implement on-line learning. They’ve had about 6 months to figure out how to do it. Six months to build or hire a completely different way to deliver at least part of their product. Sears couldn’t figure out how to do it for years.
And, believe it or not, there are some parts of the country that don’t really have decent internet available. I happen to live in one. A few years ago I found it easier to send vacation pictures from Japan to my school, than from my home which is 4 miles away.
On-line learning in most cases requires an interested adult to supervise the kids while they’re doing it and lots of homes don’t have that person—either the adult or the “interested”.
I have no idea how this is going to turn out. The rural district I taught at/now sub at may very well go under and be absorbed by a neighboring district.
Deputy Barney Fife to Sherriff Andy Taylor:
“I want to drive up to Raleigh and straighten out this mess. Nip it. Nip it in the bud.”
sounds about what i’d expect
That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.
Testing prior to launch makes sense, same thing goes for this mail in ballot scam.
Just what were the teachers, administrative staff and other employees doing in the several months when they were being paid for essentially doing nothing? Just maybe they could have been working on a video teaching system. Where is my property tax refund from these creeps and bums??? They can’t even use the usual tired excuse that they are grading papers until 3 AM.
I feel the same way, it was a major ripoff before, now it's grand larceny.
