Why it matters: PowerSchool is a widely used student information system; breaches of student or staff personally identifiable information (PII) can prompt identity concerns, require notifications and lead to remediation steps for affected families.

Bob DeLocklear, speaking for district staff, said the breach occurred in late December and the district was notified roughly two weeks later. According to the information DeLocklear relayed, the breach involved access through a third‑party vendor, and PowerSchool reported that the data obtained by the intruder had been destroyed. DeLocklear said hackers had access to student and staff information and that PowerSchool is developing a hotline and call center for potentially affected individuals.

When asked by a board member whether Social Security numbers were exposed, DeLocklear said the statewide briefing reported 910 students with Social Security numbers affected across North Carolina. He said, “To the best of our knowledge, we do not have any Social Security numbers of students in our system.” DeLocklear added that other personal identifiable information such as addresses and phone numbers were part of what was compromised.

No formal action was required at the meeting. District staff placed a general FAQ for board members in the meeting packet and said they would share additional information as it becomes available.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","PSRC Board of Education Meeting: 1/14/25","oneSentenceSummary","Public Schools of Robeson County staff informed the board Jan. 14 about a nationwide PowerSchool data breach disclosed to the district in mid‑January.","taxTitle","Public Schools of Robeson County, School Districts, North Carolina","taxId",14184,"location","North Carolina","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6387878,"Board briefed on new NIL rules: disclosures, timelines and prohibitions outlined for student-athlete deals",627,1873000,2500000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2115631-c43640cc835cc410f4c167f08c69afff&start=1873&end=2500","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2115631-c43640cc835cc410f4c167f08c69afff/thumbnail_1873000.jpg","/articles/6387878/North-Carolina/Board-briefed-on-new-NIL-rules-disclosures-timelines-and-prohibitions-outlined-for-student-athlete-deals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6387878-af3eb0cec8ab539d55949a6d5892dac6/orig.mp4?Expires=1775233878&Signature=oGPCFexHoee4RnpymZIL~dXfmWxLMvW72vzU-0tcuu9HohOlcZ1ORDiWUGo3E75-0vWd6hiBQydQhH6uLuQ-8a9qOJER1nyo20kOnkk6T4JrgyT3mtEne0EqkVoBYSuUEwQ9dMF8VRT02oFdvUs2C5odHWnpmXsGQV6NVqNsX-9UCEr-X63tX6tuO7cDo~pCr5iho0OuWpSdn3NUCByEbEvQw-kAZaHL8BgbL0m1TzgCcuB4B8PXgvewa62VdETxtt2RLhqwFyh11PJbjMV-1jSZoSKRTqF-T-6H~hdeNl0I0b-4ltipYiYLrNYO5DCbUXlCgBOJAbCMQIcDlvwWdg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District staff delivered a detailed briefing Jan. 14 on recent North Carolina rules governing student-athlete name, image and likeness (NIL) agreements and how the district should prepare.

Why it matters: Changes in state law and emergency rulemaking create new compliance obligations for students, parents, athletic directors, coaches and districts; failures in process can affect student eligibility for interscholastic athletics.

A district staff member providing the update summarized the timeline: North Carolina Session Law 2023‑133 (Oct. 3, 2023) directed the State Board of Education to adopt eligibility rules. Temporary rules and Policy ATHL008 were adopted in 2024; a Wake County judge issued an injunction on Oct. 1, 2024, and attached proposed rules to be used until the State Board finalized replacements. The State Board published and adopted new temporary rules in December 2024 and voted on Jan. 8–9, 2025 to adopt temporary rules effective Feb. 1, 2025 and permanent rules (for school year 2025–26) pending review.

Key points the presenter highlighted that will affect district practice:
- Permitted activities under the rules include public appearances, autograph signings, endorsements and promotional activities, provided they comply with the regulations.
- Students must disclose proposed NIL agreements to the school principal, the school athletic director (AD), the superintendent, the board chair and any head coach whose sport overlaps the agreement’s term.
- Once an executed NIL agreement is received, the AD must send a copy to the North Carolina High School Athletics Association within 30 days.
- Students (and parents of minors) must complete NIL education offered by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS); the permanent rules require this training at least 10 days prior to entering an NIL agreement.
- The rules prohibit use of school or district logos, promotion of alcohol, tobacco, adult establishments, weapons, gambling and activities that would disrupt school operations; coaches, ADs, school employees and booster representatives may not act as an athlete’s agent or facilitate agreements.
- The permanent rules add disclosure timelines: proposed agreements must be submitted in a complete, unredacted form at least 10 days prior to execution, and finalized executed agreements must be provided in complete form within five business days of execution.

Board members asked procedural questions about enforcement and appeals; the presenter said some disputes would be handled by NCDPI and the High School Athletics Association depending on the issue. The presenter noted the State School Board and local school boards are coordinating policy development and that the North Carolina School Boards Association is working on suggested district policy language.

No action was required at this meeting; the briefing was intended to inform future local policy development and administrative procedures.","District staff outlined recent North Carolina developments on name, image and likeness (NIL) for student athletes, including a legal timeline, disclosure and training requirements, prohibitions on using school logos and employee involvement, and deadlines for temporary and permanent rules.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6387883,"Shining Stars CACFP renewal: district awarded roughly $247,174 for 214 participants, officials say",105,1620000,1725000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2115631-c43640cc835cc410f4c167f08c69afff&start=1620&end=1725","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2115631-c43640cc835cc410f4c167f08c69afff/thumbnail_1620000.jpg","/articles/6387883/North-Carolina/Shining-Stars-CACFP-renewal-district-awarded-roughly-247174-for-214-participants-officials-say","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6387883-97702cdacd42f5533ee9270765c377ac/orig.mp4?Expires=1775233877&Signature=HCwNsvxGGJBZP1E70iEtstIcsfEXgz-iox21gLIVpx1I0kV6WUxEMnRWcY21PBlLigQ1QttFAipnL9c8kibvtiQUG~yHS0mcaBKeY4hi70sPrmMrRFiWvsiJyHWJxL0pgPYKKx7m0DEQjDFOM9BQzrpk6JoH1X-27fjFlHdqoxKW-QmN-oLgAbvXc35qzvJFLPR5vVW2iskGUN3wK-U5Wj94pA~ar2rYr0nI6CFstCTD7oJ4zkOJSYWfzt~rgLcuPr124Xq9PF3Kb8EeHKmIsB3MiPV1MZQw4uLP39zDFq2Yw4TV2PPasD~ZdpN8Va~6hzNCPlo7Rbfd6csyIbpPWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The board was briefed Jan. 14 on the Shining Stars Child and Adult Care Food Program renewal and estimated federal award for the 2024–25 school year.

Why it matters: The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federally funded U.S. Department of Agriculture program that subsidizes meals in qualifying nonresidential child-care settings; grant awards support food service staff and meal costs for participating children.

Jennifer Hannah, presenting for the program, said Shining Stars renewed its application for 214 participants and “we were awarded an estimated $247,173.54.” She provided an eligibility breakdown included in the board materials: 149 participants eligible for free meals, 26 eligible for reduced-price meals, and 39 denied eligibility. Hannah told the board the 39 denied are covered through local NC Pre‑K funds so the children still receive meals.

Hannah explained that CACFP reimbursement does not cover the full cost of operating meals; the district supplements federal reimbursements with funds from developmental-day grants, NC Pre‑K grants and local funds. In response to board questions, she confirmed children in the program receive meals free during the school day and that the award amount can fluctuate as enrollment changes.

No action was required; the presentation was provided to satisfy an annual reporting requirement tied to the grant.","Jennifer Hannah told the board the district’s Shining Stars Child and Adult Care Food Program renewed for 214 participants and an estimated award of $247,173.54; administrators said children who do not qualify for federal reimbursement are covered by NC Pre‑K or local funds.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6387888,"Robeson County schools briefed on Robeson Community College request to acquire Green Grove property",261,1357000,1618000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2115631-c43640cc835cc410f4c167f08c69afff&start=1357&end=1618","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2115631-c43640cc835cc410f4c167f08c69afff/thumbnail_1357000.jpg","/articles/6387888/North-Carolina/Robeson-County-schools-briefed-on-Robeson-Community-College-request-to-acquire-Green-Grove-property","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6387888-b2710d84053ce3f63724d8b9cf7ea551/orig.mp4?Expires=1775233877&Signature=ds69VLmZ3QdoVNN-o0j~AAWGFv3CEDiAcmpPTS6KbKvNrHXde2ec1RVTZ93n2fbqFNAxH8YWra5-GkXDSsWS77oH3oaN4satOiOljwLR6svXWtkrxTF-e2Qm-KKvkT3gYNKYteCHFKGFwvgTtl6R1rtA33ja-JOG9VcYUBLPS4wwYwn2FNQU3tsyAoiEYbS-q-9Z~0qLp5oZKmA1NArdaLCJtwC6F-LsZDTQ5ajK-euIcCJ6nTgrQhT8WGdd1le14DQFnSiR1mdyC5USA~xIf3YymhR2sxAoC9mOyyLzARp3CLniujcyVlBbsJLqhAWmFFGdcLpNbEJccHHN9E7b9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Public Schools of Robeson County Board of Education received an informational request on Jan. 14 from Robeson Community College to transfer ownership of the Green Grove Elementary School property.

Why it matters: The potential transfer would move a district-owned school site to a local community college and could affect where the district houses mobile classroom units and how surplus property is handled.

Dr. Freddie Williamson, superintendent, told the board a letter from Robeson Community College president Singler requests transfer of the Green Grove property. He said the college has completed phase 12 of environmental site assessments and has received state certification allowing it to seek the transfer under General Statute 168-274. Williamson described the discussion as informational; he said the board will be advised on the legal procedures that would be required before any transfer is finalized.

Board members and staff discussed practical details. Staff said the district currently has a 10-year lease with the college on the site; if the transfer proceeds, the district intends to retain ownership of one double-wide mobile unit for potential classroom use, while other on-site mobile units used as office space would remain with the property. A board member, identified in the record as Mr. Curry, asked what process would allow the district to recover the property in the future if needs changed; staff said that question would be addressed in follow-up and during the legal review process.

No motion was taken. Williamson said the administration will return with the required legal procedures and a recommendation for board action at a later meeting.

Additional details: the presentation stated the college intends to expand its beginning law enforcement program at the site. Board members asked for clarification about maintenance and title transfer; staff said maintenance responsibility would transfer with title if the property is conveyed.

The board moved on to other agenda items after the informational presentation.","Superintendent Dr. Freddie Williamson told the board that Robeson Community College has requested transfer of the Green Grove Elementary property after completing environmental reviews; the board heard the request as information and will consider next legal steps before any transfer action.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6387869,"Board adopts agenda, minutes and financial report; accepts personnel after closed session",8190,137000,8327000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2115631-c43640cc835cc410f4c167f08c69afff&start=137&end=8327","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2115631-c43640cc835cc410f4c167f08c69afff/thumbnail_137000.jpg","/articles/6387869/North-Carolina/Board-adopts-agenda-minutes-and-financial-report-accepts-personnel-after-closed-session","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6387869-e6a27dfb8f8a4966618ab3d30f4e6e62/orig.mp4?Expires=1775233878&Signature=CKG4Mdw2Yj2Ez7YoVVoqbDHk~Q6dqM4Lrj-Ns-LY82TJUbhPrvG2QI-n8v9FkGF7NtcIhOcW7zTvdGNLTxxFCfIypTP01RA06oFLPQRcqpw9UKdYYLkIAewB40i2NKtAZnYhpb8C4qjJPrj7C~5nCOdzXolUqIGCN4HHBgRByyq0SDW18E2BFlphwMvP6tIpbDjyYTwwSL69MJs4i1oyMYVY7uk2PdfYDFwPpD8KWBDWBKEi4TNcImycy-armDCjDnlpBvgl0Gp54h0Kp90zwl4kUi8WmGe4gnboIgTTbbyy-E7E5IWmLAYoKZVrrr3ekVTBGhnVJO0QDKrMaaVHmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Public Schools of Robeson County Board of Education recorded several formal motions and approvals during its Jan. 14 meeting, including approval of the agenda, minutes, the monthly financial report and personnel actions decided in closed session.
