All meeting days, locations and times may be subject to change. Check town, county, and school district websites for additional information. Following last week’s meeting that drew national attention when it was crashed by dozens of pickleball advocates, the Chapel Hill Town Council takes center stage again this week — this time, with an agenda that includes a discussion of various plans for the long-term future of Franklin Street. Even beyond that, though, it’s a busy week for local government — including a look at capital improvement for Chatham County Schools, and a discussion of ‘low-performing’ schools in the Orange County district. Here’s a rundown of local government meetings this week in Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties. Orange County The Hillsborough Board of Commissioners meets Monday, October 10, at 7 pm in Town Hall Annex, with a light agenda that includes a discussion of charging-station infrastructure for electric vehicles.

The Orange County Board of Education also meets Monday in the Whitted Building in Hillsborough, with a closed session from 6-7 pm and an open session immediately afterwards. Board members will get an update on school improvement plans – particularly for Gravelly Hill Middle School, which was designated by the state this year as a “low-performing” school. In addition, the board will receive the results of a survey on teacher working conditions; and they’ll discuss efforts to improve school culture & climate and shift to an equity-based approach to budgeting.
