This week in local government

Chatham County Schools' Board of Education met on 7 October in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and worked through a full slate of routine business: school improvement plans for every school, a donation of 3D printers to Seaforth High School's career and technical program at $50,000 per unit, revised student fee policies, and its 2026-2032 capital request to county commissioners. That request flags an urgent roof replacement.

It is the only meeting collected in the region this week.

10 boards met across 6 governments, with 137 agenda items on file.
