Durham Public Schools will spend $84,000 to $85,000 hiring a paid facilitator for a new LGBTQIA+ task force to implement the district's gender support policy, despite board concerns about budget constraints.
The board approved a Day of Remembrance on May 15 to honor young people lost to violence, with Board Member Javonia Lewis leading the initiative after fifteen children under eighteen died from violence in the district this year.
The board transferred more than $1 million from 2016 bond sustainability projects to cover urgent furniture and equipment needs at Northern High School, committing to replenish funds once the Department of Transportation reimburses the district.
