A new task force has started work to redesign how the state measures school performance after years of criticism for the current system by education leaders.

Two years after the US Supreme Court outlawed race conscious admissions, Carolina's incoming classes have had 25% fewer Black students. After administrators eliminated DEI support programs, students who are on campus say they feel unwanted.

A committee that advises the state Board of Education on students’ non-academic needs has recommended the board back requiring a master’s degree for all school social workers in the state.

Last week, students and educators shared stories of how schools across the district bore the weight of this past week’s immigration enforcement.

For the rest of this week, volunteers will welcome students at school and act as lookouts should immigration agents show up. Many parents are keeping their children home out of precaution.

This year, schools have faced canceled grants, delayed funds, and abrupt decisions by the U.S. Dept. of Education. WUNC tracked $320 million in disrupted funds.

The full board went against a committee decision to keep resident undergraduate tuition flat.

The committee instead voted to increase tuition for out-of-state students to make up for rising costs.

Several Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools teachers and staff members raised concerns about the ongoing impact of position reductions, especially in the Exceptional Children department.

Another nearly 100,000 students are likely missing out on SNAP benefits that they qualify for, but lack of knowledge, difficulty, stigma keeps them from signing up.
