Report finds nearly $18 billion in facility needs for NC public schools for 2027-2031

Every five years, state law requires that local boards of education submit their long-range plans for “meeting school facility needs” to the State Board of Education. The reports are then aggregated by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction (DPI) into a statewide summary, which is submitted to the General Assembly to shape their decisions regarding fiscal allocations in the state budget to potentially meet these school needs.
