• Wake County Board of Education

    The Wake County Board of Education is the local governing body of the Wake County Public School System. Its nine members are currently elected from separate county districts. 

    The school board sets policy for the school system implemented by the superintendent and administrative staff. The board also adopts an annual budget proposal that includes its request for local funding from the Wake County Board of Commissioners as well as its plan for using state and federal funds. The school board does not have taxing authority.

    The North Carolina State Board of Education, as legislated by the North Carolina General Assembly, provides statewide public school governance. The state is responsible for the majority of the district's funding as well as oversight of core academic curricula.

  • Wake County Board of Education District 2 Vacancy: To be eligible for the vacated seat, candidates must live in District 2 and apply by 4:59 p.m. on Monday, January 6, 2025.
