Listen Later

Libby Taylor started SchoolUp to provide families in Wake County with the knowledge and guidance they need to find the right school for their children. And she's now expanded to Durham County and will be at the coast soon. With first hand knowledge of the challenging intricacies navigating our school system, I can say with certainty that her services are needed. Whether you are new to Wake County, don't have the time, or just need some advice to get you started, her goal is to help families stay informed and feel empowered to choose the right school for their needs. She works hand in hand with your family, looks at your unique goals and desires and then assists you in researching school options that best fit your needs. She has an undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University and a Masters from UNC. She started her career in education working in Washington D. C. before transitioning to the classroom. She taught in both Wake Co. and Durham Co. before moving on to The National Humanities Center where she planned and coordinated professional development for teachers. She started SchoolUp in 2017 as an independent consulting business helping both local families and those relocating to the area. She spends her days touring schools and talking to parents about their experiences in schools. And today on this episode we get to dive into all of this.

On Sunday, March 5 at 3pm she is hosting a very important event that is perfect for families moving to the Raleigh area and interested in learning more about k-12 schools. She will cover all the basics of what you need to know and where to find the right information. From traditional public to magnet, charter, and private she can help you with the information and resources you need to confidently navigate your move. Bring all your questions! You can register for the event on her website at https://schoolupwake.com/events/ and you connect with Libby on Social at: @schoolupwake
