Keeping up with the State Board of Education

The State Board meets monthly and much of what is discussed is relevant to the work of LEARN NC.

These meetings are, for the most part, public. The agenda and other documents relevant to that month’s meeting is posted in advance on http://www.ncpublicschools.org/sbe_meetings/ so you can see what’s planned and decide if you want to participate. You may choose to attend or plan to listen to the audio stream.

Even if you don’t take in the meeting F2F or through streaming audio, you may find it is helpful to read the posted minutes and reports after the meeting or check out the Highlights or Legislative Report. These documents are posted a few weeks after the meeting so you will have to watch for them. Documents are organized according to the State Board goals (attached), so when you see cryptic headings for items like GCS1 or TPS3, those correlate to the goals related to Globally Competitive Students or 21st Century Professionals.
