What's on this agenda

Chatham County's school board amended its retainer agreement in the social media litigation on 9 March, the coordinated case school districts have brought against social media companies over their effect on students. It also signed an audit contract with Anderson, Smith & Wike and took the second budget amendment of the 2025-26 year.

Most of the night was recognition: National Board certified teachers and state performance bonus recipients, a spelling bee, a state art award, and an honor for a 2026 Tar Heel Trailblazer. The board signed a memorandum with the Chatham County Historical Association, set inclement weather dates, and accepted a donation for the Neon Krakens robotics team. The district publishes an item list and no agenda document or minutes, so vote counts are not on file here.
