What's on this agenda

Wake County's school board takes up joining litigation against social media companies on 3 March, under an item on the harmful impact of social media on students. Districts across the country have brought these suits, arguing the platforms were built to hold children's attention at a cost the schools then carry.

The board also recommends a project option for the Ligon Magnet Middle replacement, takes the first guaranteed maximum price at North Garner Middle, and reports the settlement of a condemnation action. Policy 8341 on settlements gets both readings the same night.

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