On Tuesday, June 21, 2022, the New Hanover County Board of Education members passed the district’s budget in a 5-2 vote. For some, that's a relief after weeks of stalement but it wasn’t the best news for classified staff.
The New Hanover County Association of Educators is asking the county commissioners to pay all classified staff a minimum of $16 dollars an hour with a 2% step increase all in one year, a request worth $17.6 million.
The New Hanover County Health Department reports a Covid-19 positivity rate of close to 21%. Yesterday, the school board took note of that figure and voted 5 to 2 to reinstate the mask mandate with the exception of student athletes participating in a sporting event.
In November, North Carolina legislators and the governor finally passed a state budget. WHQR takes a closer look at what's in it for the school system, what isn't, and how advocates feel about it.
Board Chair Stefanie Adams
At the Tuesday, July 20, New Hanover County School Board virtual meeting, Board Chair Stefanie Adams also briefly addressed the lack of decorum at last week’s early adjourned meeting.
“Moving forward behaviors demonstrated on July 13th will not be tolerated, if meeting attendees chose to engage in disruptive behaviors they will be removed per North Carolina general statutes 143-318.17,” said Adams. But she did say that she applauds the passion of the community, that board members do want to listen to the public, but that they have to engage in a respectful way.
