# NHCS Board of Ed. Policy Committee Meeting | September 8, 2026

The New Hanover County Schools Board of Education Policy Committee met on September 8, 2026, primarily to review and discuss substantive amendments to several district policies, including 3200, 3210, 3510, 5160, and 6420. The committee focused on aligning policies with recent state statutes, particularly regarding definitions and procedures for instructional, supplementary, and library materials. Key procurement-related discussions included clarifying the role of the board attorney in reviewing contracts, specifically recommending that renewal agreements be reviewed if they predate the current attorney's term or if terms have changed. The committee approved these policy changes and recommended forwarding them to the full board for final approval. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the policy updates could impact future procurement processes related to instructional materials and contracts.
