New Hanover County Schools superintendent is launching a back-to-school town hall series on August 25, 2026, giving families, staff, and community members a direct forum to share feedback and discuss district priorities for the new academic year.
Town Hall Schedule and Format at the Board of Education Center
The upcoming public forum forms part of the superintendent’s strategic planning listening tour, according to WECT. District officials designed the sessions to gather community feedback on district-wide concerns, priorities, and questions ahead of the academic calendar.
The event takes place on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at the Board of Education Center. Organizers split the schedule into two distinct blocks to accommodate both employees and the public:
* School Staff Session: 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
* General Public Session: 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Strategic Planning Goals for the New School Year
According to WECT, the targeted discussions will center on core district priorities, immediate operational challenges, and foundational questions raised by families and local educators. Staff members attend to voice internal operational perspectives, while parents and local residents participate during the subsequent hour to address broader community impacts.
