What's on this agenda

Wake County's school board adopts its 2025-26 balanced budget resolution on 18 November and takes the final draft of the 2026-27 enrolment plan.

Three policies come up for first reading, two of them on reduction in force — the rules for laying off contract and non-contract employees — and one on pregnant, parenting and lactating students and staff. Policy 4318 on student use of wireless communication devices gets its first reading here, four months before the version the board took in March.

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