What's on this agenda

Wake County's school board settles its 2026-27 budget on 18 August. It waives its own policy 8101 to approve the proposed budget on this timetable, takes the reconciliation adjustments that close the gap between what it asked the county for and what it got, and adopts the salary schedules for the year.

Seven separate amendments cover contracts for transporting exceptional children, and the construction list runs to a design amendment for Broughton High, the schematic design for Ligon Middle, roof work at Davis Drive Middle and East Wake High, and a reimbursement agreement with the Town of Wake Forest for the tennis courts at Heritage High. The board also takes up insurance cover for liability, workers compensation and property, and announces legal settlements after closed session.

Summarized from the published agenda. Read the agenda itself before acting on it.
