School Board Ethics Vote Split | Wilmington News
Description
The New Hanover County school board narrowly approved a new ethics policy—5 to 2—with dissenters warning it’s too vague and could be weaponized against members. Meanwhile, David Perry’s student data proposal was killed by a landslide, citing cost and manpower concerns despite existing security. Supporters of the ethics policy say rules are clear, while Dr. Merrick praised background checks but called behavioral clauses redundant. The board also greenlit academic contract changes, but deferred a public records fee plan for further review. On a bright note, the superintendent announced a community listening session and revealed only 14 open positions—nearly 100% staffed—before school starts.
