Schools
The Wake County Board of Education is the local governing body of the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS). Its nine members are currently elected from separate county districts. (Visit the following link to learn more about the board members representing Morrisville.) The school board sets policy for the school system, which is then 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 N.C. State Board of Education, as legislated by the N.C. 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 School Board
Schools are important to the Town of Morrisville, and the Town Council is committed to partnering with and continuing dialogue with the Wake County Public School Board and sharing information with Morrisville residents. Information and updates will be posted here.
