What happened

In March 2026 the board voted to ask the N.C. Department of Public Instruction to change the Remote Academy from a regional program to a statewide one. The Remote Academy is an online option for grades 6-12, taught mainly through Edgenuity. The minutes do not say whether the state approved the change.

Why it matters to families

If approved, students from anywhere in North Carolina could enroll online, which could change the school's size and funding.

The evidence

March 2, 2026 approved minutes (Changes to Remote Academy Application); 2026-27 Remote Academy handbook.
