What's on this agenda

Wake County's school board approves its own proposed budget for 2026-27 on 5 May, which is the request that then goes to the county commissioners.

Seven policies come back for second reading, including confidential information, the superintendent's authority to act for the board, staff-student relations, and child abuse and related threats to child safety. The construction list is elevator modernisation at three schools and a tennis court replacement at Apex Friendship High.
