Episode Details

Durham Public Schools grapples with a $1 billion maintenance backlog, with nearly 40% of schools in poor or critical condition. A 10-year plan proposes closing small schools and merging them into larger, modern campuses. Teachers and staff face challenging conditions, including overheated classrooms and health issues due to mold and poor air quality. A $423.5 million bond was approved in 2022 for renovations and new schools. The full facilities plan will be presented to the school board on May 22, with community input sessions to follow.
