What's on this agenda

Wake County's school board petitions the county commissioners for school construction money on 7 April, taking the FY2027 to FY2033 capital improvement programme summary alongside it. The superintendent's proposed 2026-27 budget is presented the same night.

Seven policies come back for second reading, including employee conflict of interest, teleworking, defence of employees and retirement. Four contract amendments cover speech and related therapy providers, and the board proclaims Arts in Our Schools Month.
