SBOE Report: May 2025
The North Carolina State Board of Education met for its Bi-Annual Planning Meeting and Work Session on Wednesday, April 30th, and its Regular Monthly Meeting on Thursday, May 1st.
4/30/2025 Bi-Annual Planning Meeting and Work Session Report
After recognitions and an explanation of the Work Session's purpose, the meeting began with the Superintendent’s Report, which included a brief response to a US Department of Education (DOE) letter concerning NC and Title 6 (Civil Rights Act). The letter stated the DOE would withhold federal funds if NC did not comply with Title 6. Superintendent Green stated that he believes NC complies with Title 6 and that his office has not heard from the US DOE regarding the response or the amount of funds at stake.
Superintendent Green continued his report by discussing his Mo Wants to Know tour, a listening tour involving education stakeholders.
Because this was a Bi-Annual Planning Session, the Board did not discuss the committee agenda and action items as usual. Most committees simply provided an update on their current work.
A brief presentation called Update on the 2025 Legislative Session continues to track legislative items in the pipeline as the crossover date fast approaches. A link to the update can be found here.
The B-Annual Planning Meeting consisted of three morning sessions:
