North Carolina's two largest school districts — Wake and Mecklenburg — have now both said they'll cancel classes on May 1 to allow teachers to attend the N.C.

Plus, we discuss:

A minor dust-up between 9th District Republicans Stony Rushing and Dan Bishop
A new bill to require Uber drivers to display a lighted sign
The N&O is criticized for insensitive coverage of the Durham explosion
