NC charter school has been delayed yet again. When it now plans to open in Chatham.

A new charter school focused on helping students learn job skills is now scheduled to open in Chatham County in 2029 — five years after it was first approved. The N.C. Charter Schools Review Board voted 7-2 on Monday to approve Granite Charter Academy’s request to delay its opening until fall 2029 . School leaders said the delay will give them time to construct a campus in Pittsboro that would eventually allow them to serve 1,500 K-12 students. “Seeing the development in the area, I’m sure Chatham County is excited to have a school that they’re not running a bond package on,” said Lindalyn Kakadelis, a member of the Review Board. But some Review Board members raised concerns about allowing such a long delay. Granite was originally approved by the Review Board in 2024 with a scheduled opening this school year. Staff in the Office of Charter Schools previously had approved Granite’s request to delay opening until 2027. On Monday, the school sought an additional two-year delay. “I do believe it’s a great endeavor and very purposeful and needed, but we’d be approving an application that’s five years removed from all the original intent,” said Review Board member Rita Haire,

Will the midterms' blue wave change UNC's shade? University leaders weigh in

“Buckle up, everybody.” That was the warning from former UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp to his “UNC peeps” in the wake of a stunning midterm election that dramatically shifted the balance of power in North Carolina state politics towards Democrats. Since the state legislature appoints the UNC System Board of Governors and many of the members of individual campus boards of trustees, that shift could trickle down and inform who controls public higher education. As it stands, Republicans dominate the UNC System Board of Governors and the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees. That’s shown itself in myriad ways: the rejection of diversity, equity and inclusion measures, the embrace of a controversial civic life center, the energetic budget-cutting, the deals with the Trump administration, the continued questioning of tenure, and more. But conservative influence on higher education policy could become less potent in the coming years. Thorp worries that the political diversity will make it harder to get things done at UNC. According to Thorp’s analysis, “the Board of Governors (that is responsible for the UNC System) will get 6 seats out of 24 in July 2027 from the NC House, presumably Democrats. That will make it 18R-6D,” he wrote. “At

Wake Forest's Blackbird Brewing is bringing its beer to downtown Durham

Wake Forest's Blackbird Brewery is opening a taproom in downtown Durham's Unscripted hotel , taking over the space formerly occupied by Pour . Why it matters: The move introduces a new local spot for drinks and food downtown looking out onto CCB Plaza. State of play: Blackbird plans to begin selling beer this month in the Corcoran Street space. "A rolling opening is what we're calling it," Blackbird co-founder Harmony VanGundy says, laughing as she adds: "We still have no money. We need to sell some beer to make things happen." Because what they do have is product — a wide selection of beers brewed in Wake Forest — as well as permits, furniture and taps on the wall. Hours are not set, but Blackbird in Durham will "for sure" be open for the downtown tree-lighting on Nov. 21 and for other holiday events in December. What they're saying: "I just hope Durham likes us as much as we like them. They're tough, man. Tough crowd there. They kicked out Dampf BBQ real quick," she says with a laugh. Durham's beer drinkers have advanced palates, she tells Axios. "We're excited to have a space that when we make a smoked
