What's on this agenda

Chatham County's school board opened the 2026-27 school year at its 3 August session, taking the consolidated federal grants package for the year and a student code of civility. It signed four contracts: speech and language therapists for exceptional children through Speech Inspirations, the Advanced Teaching Roles program with Public Impact, Invision Services, and a renewal with North Carolina Driving School.

The board also pre-approved a Chromebook purchase, renewed its memorandum of understanding with the YMCA, revised its own meeting calendar, and took a first reading of a state school boards association policy update. Closed session covered student records, an attorney-client matter and personnel. The district publishes an item list and no agenda document, so this account stops at what the items name.
