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.

Google threatened to block search function in schools. NC schools seek answers

Triangle school districts are trying to get more information about how they’ll be impacted by Google’s plan to change access to Google Search in schools. Google set off a firestorm this week when it initially announced that it would turn off access to Google Search for schools that reject use of artificial intelligence. Google then said it wanted to “clarify ” that it will turn off access by default to Search and its AI tools Gemini and Gemini Notebook with schools deciding which ones to turn back on. “We’ll share more specifics with schools in the coming months ahead of the changes rolling out so they have time to prepare and enable a smooth transition,” Chris Phillips, Google’s vice president and general manager for education, said in a blog post Tuesday . “Our goal is simple: provide school leaders the control and confidence to use AI products in classrooms as they see fit.” Schools want more info on Google’s changes Google Classroom is used by 90% of school districts nationwide so any changes are drawing concern. “We’re monitoring and waiting for more details from the company,” said Michael Hyland, a Wake County school system spokesperson.

NC State's Sigma Nu brothers could face charges. Here's how NC law treats hazing

The doors to an NC State University fraternity will remain closed amid an ongoing probe into serious hazing allegations within the organization, university officials and the national organization said this week. But whether fraternity leaders can be criminally charged hinges on North Carolina’s hazing law — a statute that some experts say contains a more narrow definition in comparison to other states. NC State’s Sigma Nu fraternity has been the target of a weeklong investigation into its alleged hazing of new members, with graphic videos and anonymous reports describing pledges enduring physical abuse, pressured drug use, threats and multiple hospitalizations, according to recent search warrants. In a statement to The News & Observer on Friday afternoon, Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman declined to comment on what specific charges the state could consider against Sigma Nu members, but said officials would “follow the evidence wherever it leads in considering what charges are appropriate.” “State law prohibits activities that are defined as hazing,” Freeman wrote in a message. “Abuse under any circumstances is not to be tolerated. It takes courage for victims to speak out. We take protecting our young people seriously and are committed to a thorough investigation and any
