What's on this agenda

Wake County's school board and its county commissioners meet jointly on 12 August, with the 2026 schools bond on the agenda. County staff had put a combined school and community college question at $829.1 million for the November 2026 ballot at their 30 March budget work session, at an estimated half-cent tax impact levied in 2027-28.

The two boards also take up land disposition opportunities — surplus sites either body might sell or trade — a child nutrition services update and the superintendent's report.
