Dare County Schools Board of Education Meeting: June 23, 2026

The Dare County Schools Board of Education held a meeting on June 23, 2026, where they discussed several key topics including the approval of a telehealth urgent care program in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Surf Pediatrics. The board approved proceeding with parent notification and program development pending legal review, allowing the district to offer virtual urgent care visits for students through telehealth services. Additionally, the board reviewed updates to the policy manual and received a detailed presentation on the district's Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) program. The AIG discussion focused on changes to state-mandated identification pathways, funding challenges due to declining student enrollment, staffing adjustments, and strategies to optimize resources while maintaining program quality. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were reported, but the telehealth program approval represents a new service initiative with potential vendor involvement.
