NC State Board of Education Policy Summaries

We have reviewed several years of NC State Board of Education (SBE) policies, and created the following summaries. The summaries can be downloaded as documents by clicking the title.  Each document contains a brief summary, a summary of any relevant legislation related to the policy, and links to relevant SBE, DPI, or legislative documents.  We have rated each policy on a scale of 1-5, using our judgement gained from working with school systems.  You can search on tags that we assigned to each.
