Wake County Board of Education to Host Public Budget Input Session Amid Proposed Cuts

The Wake County Board of Education is inviting the public to a budget input session on Wednesday to gather feedback on proposed budget cuts, including $5.2 million in areas like transportation and elementary literacy coaches. Superintendent Robert Taylor plans to propose further cuts later this month. While the overall budget for next year will increase, it is primarily to cover rising costs such as pay raises, which could add tens of millions of dollars annually to the school system's expenses.
