From ABC 11:

Teachers in Apex put in a full work day, but they protested with a walk and rally at West Lake Middle School Monday evening.

Yet, more than 100 teachers from across the Triangle protested by not showing up to work Monday. Instead they rallied against state budget cuts and another year without pay raises.

Ten teachers at the rally were from Durham’s W.G. Pearson Elementary School. They said 21 of the school’s 24 teachers did not show up for work Monday morning.

Did these teachers use a sick day? A vacation day?
