Board adopts 2025 legislative priorities emphasizing support for public schools and staff
Summary
The board approved a concise legislative priorities document that foregrounds a short storytelling blurb and three priority sections; staff indicated the draft incorporated member feedback and references to support for specific employee groups, public funding for public schools and the district's broader educational mission.
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board approved its 2025 legislative priorities, adopting a shorter, narrative-driven document staff said is intended to be clearer and more inclusive of district needs.
Communications and policy staff said the document, revised after a February discussion, adds a brief storytelling element at the top and groups priorities into three concise sections so the board's positions are easier to communicate to legislators and the public. The draft reflects board input to mention specific employee groups and to emphasize that public money should support public schools.
The board voted to adopt the legislative priorities; staff will transmit the final document to state advocacy partners and include it in the district's outreach to the legislature.
