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,

Philip Rivers Gives NC State Update After Potential End to Six-Year High School Coaching Career

Philip Rivers’ high school season ended Friday night, and the question of what comes next grew louder with it. St. Michael Catholic lost 42-35 to Glenwood in the first round of the Alabama playoffs, and Rivers admitted afterward it might have been his last game on that sideline. Whatever he does next, NC State is waiting. The Wolfpack fired Dave Doeren on October 24, and nearly every report says Rivers is the man the school wants. The game itself was close to the end. St. Michael was tied 28-28 early in the fourth quarter when Glenwood scored and recovered the onside kick. The Cardinals cut it...

NC State's Sigma Nu suspended by national fraternity after ‘heinous and grievous acts'

N.C. State University’s oldest fraternity will shut down indefinitely, its national organization said Friday afternoon, following a weeks-long probe into graphic hazing allegations within the fraternity. According to a release Friday afternoon, the national Sigma Nu Fraternity suspended the charter of its NC State chapter effective immediately, after “significant and severe violations of the Fraternity’s principles, law, policies, and membership requirements” that they said occurred in the chapter’s “activities.” The chapter will remain closed until further notice, officials said. “The Fraternity continues to appreciate the diligent work of North Carolina State University Police Department officers in their thorough investigation, which remains ongoing,” the release states. “The Fraternity will continue to fully support and cooperate with the procedures of law enforcement officials in this matter.” The suspension comes a day after search warrants revealed graphic videos and anonymous testimony that further detailed the hazing allegations. Those allegations included physical abuse, death threats, pressured drug use, induced vomiting and multiple hospitalizations, according to the warrants. NC State officials suspended the fraternity from campus last week, simultaneously announcing the investigation into the alleged hazing practices. But the newest suspension from the national organization adds deeper, more permanent consequences for the fraternity that’s become

How Wake County school board plans to enforce ethics rules among its members

Wake County school board members are creating a process to punish members for misconduct while saying they’re not going to stifle dissent. The Wake County school board gave initial approval Wednesday to a revised Code of Ethics policy that creates a process for publicly censuring board members. School board chair Tyler Swanson said the policy changes will provide clear guardrails on what board members can and can’t do. “Our job is the governing body,” Swanson said in an interview after the vote. “This policy does not yield that power away to staff. It allows us to have some checks and balances, so the board can stay above the fray, and staff can deal with the day-to-day operations through the superintendent’s guidance.” He said they’re emulating school districts such as Johnston County, which has censured members over their conduct. In 2022, Johnston County school board member Ronald Johnson was censured for actions such as trying to transfer the children of an adversary and for inappropriately texting sexual comments about a female school employee during board meetings. In 2025, Johnson was removed from the school board by a judge after being convicted of extortion and obstruction of justice. Caution urged on enforcing

Wake school board extends superintendent's contract. Why there's no raise.

Wake County Schools Superintendent Robert Taylor is getting a contract extension but not a raise. The Wake County school board voted 7-1 on Wednesday to extend Taylor’s contract an additional year through June 2030 — the maximum length allowed under state law. School board chair Tyler Swanson said it was Taylor who asked that the contract extension not come with a raise. “He advocated that due to the fact that there are tough budgets and teachers have not received the raises that they deserve — especially our veteran teachers — that he was not going to accept a raise in his extension,” Swanson said in an interview after the vote. Taylor did get a 3% raise as part of this year’s state budget that lifted his annual base salary to $349,942. Board members said they wanted to reward Taylor for his leadership of North Carolina’s largest school district. This year, Wake saw its highest passing rates on state exams since 2012 . “We’ve had historic gains under his leadership,” Swanson said. “So, I am confident in his ability to lead, and grateful for his ability, his leadership, and we have much more work ahead of us. I look forward to
