Staff said the MOA amendments adjust job duties for a WISH-funded position because of changes in the funding stream after Trillium merged with Eastpointe; the revised role will spend more time working with the district\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000exceptional-children program than with school counselors, according to staff remarks. The MOA will remain in effect through the current school year, officials said. Mr. Latham moved approval and Mr. West seconded; the board approved the amendment by voice vote.

The board then read and accepted a proclamation celebrating the WISH centers\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000which provide medical, behavioral and nutritional services in seven schools and serve thousands of students annually. The proclamation noted WISH\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000was formed in 1997, has grown from two schools to seven, and supports school nurses, nurse practitioners and other providers who help reduce absenteeism and address students\u0000\u0000\u0000health needs. The proclamation vote was moved by Mr. Henderson, seconded by Mr. West, and carried.

Board members invited WISH staff and community partners forward for recognition during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wayne County Board of Education Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved technical amendments to the WISH memorandum of agreement to reflect Trillium funding changes and formally proclaimed February as School-Based Health Care Awareness Month in recognition of the WISH program's services.","taxTitle","Wayne County Public Schools, School Districts, North Carolina","taxId",14091,"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},6354132,"Board approves adoption of state-approved high-school biology textbooks after teacher review",70,3088000,3158000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2220529-1bd44c9ca770c5829a4efb5179181c21&start=3088&end=3158","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2220529-1bd44c9ca770c5829a4efb5179181c21/thumbnail_3088000.jpg","/articles/6354132/North-Carolina/Board-approves-adoption-of-state-approved-high-school-biology-textbooks-after-teacher-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6354132-358e0e4cdfd73a7fc08beb2c5b2ee2ee/orig.mp4?Expires=1775087139&Signature=SUNdxiyhNn4rLgla1LVOsQgO9geBeqYJketPzgs~M2anN5G1GBKYw6OR77RMDCseLdxBQzdSPbmtXEP1CagiNPPDYnquu-MSByL8Ltza7aBKYWnMykDKqZiuWgKPM3rwBCVQAdpLoOBg6~X4oj1MujWgHF-qJQVnyZcVie9XvybK9wDfV1sHO0dFonTokpkPqtQNLqdnTbWuzxSs2LrAeRYgmLZb4mB~qG6y3TDRLlNTKsVe-09q~A8jjLfayqSXwEbbNIfXO4Gg60k-TdwQU0ElI2wY-cGth-L2NgZpJVEm6rv0RG2~baIrGsKF41AYKqyeIG~Vhc29Qyns9Gpr0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wayne County Public Schools board members on Feb. 3 voted to accept the district\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000adoption of state-approved high-school biology textbooks.

Curriculum staff told the board teachers previewed the candidate textbooks and three core teachers from across the county assessed alignment and usability. Staff said the North Carolina textbook commission updated the list of approved texts and the State Board of Education approved the adoptions that allowed the district to preview and select materials.

The district presented a five-year quote to the board; staff reported the publisher agreed to provide online student access immediately at no charge even though the formal license begins next year. The associated workbooks were described as consumable and included in the purchase price.

The motion to accept the textbook purchase was made by Mr. Henderson and seconded by Mr. Fook; the board approved the purchase by voice vote. Staff said they will finalize delivery and implementation schedules and that the books currently will be used at the high-school level only.","The board approved a five-year biology textbook purchase and consumable workbooks; district staff said three core teachers previewed materials and the publisher agreed to early online access for students at no extra cost.",{"_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},6354135,"Wayne County Schools approves Lightbeam.AI pilot pending legal review to detect and redact PII in Google accounts",196,5673000,5869000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2220529-1bd44c9ca770c5829a4efb5179181c21&start=5673&end=5869","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2220529-1bd44c9ca770c5829a4efb5179181c21/thumbnail_5673000.jpg","/articles/6354135/North-Carolina/Wayne-County-Schools-approves-LightbeamAI-pilot-pending-legal-review-to-detect-and-redact-PII-in-Google-accounts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6354135-7ef1d34978bf8823e805864cb251f788/orig.mp4?Expires=1775087139&Signature=OGb2SVKr3kZXYDgKeWDolNN9JSJxD2bTsiLaSgWeeHDinIdtEvK5lKXnXJYC4UucHawPYOPPCDZe1Cz~f1su1MIN4Vhg7Kvbqt6y2OndtC6R0Qcfw9uBcsYWmiFYyP-2k~GVz39pTJTn8h8CerAI9NAsOAs5aZZv7GkqGFRyr6HGLg80iF~0VHgOUXFjZg5dg4oRRdacjWO7P9-q0B2MG5pe3x~9T4G1ALeUKPhHmJiSlo70jMstFU6IxCPTGToNm9mgIj4vPhgJCHCB7T-LcCgngVfbYoid39i22eFZB5U43ahLqC9whCp2Hx0l~eceucnAkIWPfzVBBM3V4534aQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wayne County Public Schools Board of Education voted Feb. 3 to approve, pending legal review, a one-year pilot of Lightbeam.AI, a data-governance platform staff said will monitor adult Gmail and Google Drive accounts for personally identifiable information and automatically redact or flag data and documents.

Technology staff described Lightbeam as an AI-trained engine that will scan district Google accounts for patterns of PII, redact sensitive fields from emails or documents where appropriate, and produce reports staff can use to train users on safer data-handling practices. The system is intended to move the district from after-the-fact discovery to proactive detection.

Mr. Yancey presented the package to the board and said Lightbeam\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000could identify users transmitting PII and be used as an education tool; he emphasized staff will follow up with targeted training after detection. The board accepted the Finance Committee\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000recommendation to approve the item pending completion of a legal review of the vendor contract.

Board members asked that legal counsel review the agreement before final execution. Staff listed the legal-review milestone as a near-term follow-up task; the board recorded no roll-call vote counts in the public portion of the meeting and approved items K through N as a block.

Legal review was explicitly noted in the motion and in the meeting discussion; staff said the Lightbeam pilot will focus on adult user accounts (staff) rather than student accounts and will be used to reduce inadvertent data exposure and improve staff practices.","The board approved, as part of Finance Committee items, a plan to pilot Lightbeam.AI to monitor adult Google accounts for personally identifiable information and redact it; approval was contingent on legal review.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":44,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":50,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6354140,"Wayne County school board approves MOA changes, textbook purchase, calendars, IT contracts and property dispositions",4053,8602000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2220529-1bd44c9ca770c5829a4efb5179181c21&start=4549&end=8602","/articles/6354140/North-Carolina/Wayne-County-school-board-approves-MOA-changes-textbook-purchase-calendars-IT-contracts-and-property-dispositions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6354140-2cb8b0ea05e809483900beee82de4ff3/orig.mp4?Expires=1775087139&Signature=YEqGPS5xY-VIrlcpO73LXYWlNB4c1zzIkrveFEMKWiqgrC1sd1ryde0n29A-w5DJw9WZbGJz2r0ZLUvY6susfw1ZKmCPGYxdNWCl7KrtOkXAiRgpW21FLEWdNfbhECVeJZ~Jy3xaqPaOZ-WP984G8p8UNTseSHqaaV4EsMoolkZfmAaNlhiYsXUPpC1KplDiQn~C0oxS90bzGIlZ586tYFQXS4Ha1tBw0-KCuqoAF6jLtT6fFaXVjYzglewzz7wB23ttQiBX5xCA~2LQcy~-PtoVcjKshg~C1OBwQl6Oew0q48uvdirs-bJgY0CM4vdeYi6AZztDXws1BntD~W6Prg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wayne County Public Schools board members voted on a package of operational and instructional items during their Feb. 3 meeting in Goldsboro, approving an amended memorandum of agreement for the WISH school-based health program, the purchase of new high-school biology textbooks, an adjustment to one school\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000hour schedule, technology contracts and the disposition of three district properties.

The board approved the amended WISH MOA, described in meetings as technical edits to reflect changes in Trillium funding and revised job duties for the WISH-funded position; the motion was made by Mr. Latham and seconded by Mr. West and carried by voice vote.

The board approved the purchase of state-adopted high-school biology textbooks and associated consumable workbooks after curriculum staff said teachers reviewed candidate materials. The district\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000reported the publisher agreed to provide student online access early at no additional charge; the motion to accept the purchase was made by Mr. Henderson and seconded by Mr. Fook.

To address missed instructional hours after inclement weather, the board approved a 10-minute morning extension to Wayne Little High Academy\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000hours through the end of the school year to meet North Carolina\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000statutory contact-hour requirement; the motion came from Mr. Latham and was seconded by Mr. West.

The board also approved the nontraditional 2025-26 calendar for Wayne School of Engineering and Wayne Early Middle College after staff said the calendar aligns classroom and employee days more closely with community college schedules. Mr. West moved the calendar and Mr. Polk seconded.

On finance and technology, the board approved several items that had come out of the Finance Committee, including an agreement to test a data-governance tool, Lightbeam.AI, with the understanding that the contract is pending legal review; the motion approved items K through N as a block by voice vote. The proposal was presented to the board by technology staff as a proactive system to detect and redact personally identifiable information (PII) in district Google accounts and to provide targeted user training.

Facilities items approved included a purchase order of $29,750 to widen an exit at the current Wayne Academy (funded from maintenance local) and the disposition method for three surplus properties on Holly Street, School Street and Fremont; Mr. Sanders moved the PO and Mr. West seconded; the property dispositions were approved together following Facilities Committee recommendation.

The board accepted committee reports, approved multiple purchase orders recommended by the Curriculum Committee, and approved the consent agenda items A (minutes) and C (student reassignments). The general personnel report (Consent 7B) was addressed separately after Mr. West recused himself; the personnel report was approved by the remaining board members.

Procedural votes included a motion to enter closed session to discuss confidential personnel and student matters under North Carolina law; the motion was moved by Mr. Sanders, seconded by Mr. West, and carried. The meeting adjourned on a motion by Mr. West and a second by Mr. Henderson.

A parent raised a public-safety concern during the public-comment period, saying a person had threatened her child at a school event; school staff said an investigation is already underway.

Because most votes were taken by voice and hand-raise rather than recorded roll-call, the board did not provide name-by-name tallies for many items during the meeting.","At its Feb. 3 meeting the Wayne County Public Schools Board of Education approved a set of operational and instructional measures including an amended WISH MOA, purchase of biology textbooks, changes to a school\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000hours, IT contracts (Lightbeam.AI pending legal review) and disposition of three surplus properties.","actionData","errors"]
