Abstract:
Wake County School Board members are spending more time worrying about eliminating diversity than working on the budget. The new budget will eliminate forty jobs and will not request more funding despite opening four new schools and an increase in enrollment. Spending per student has decreased and will continue to decrease over the next two years. Some believe that the board is trying to make up for the decreases by creating low-income schools and relying on social programs to help fund them.

Abstract:
The state Senate passed bill S 1209 which places a 14-month moratorium on cities and towns who wish to build their own high-speed broadband networks. The bill hurts many rural communities that the telecommunications companies have not served with high-speed internet. Lobbyists for the telecommunications companies worked hard to support the bill and the companies have contributed to bill sponsor Sen. David Hoyle D-Gaston’s campaign efforts. The bill will now head to the house where it is expected to pass.
