RALEIGH — The year 2024 brought significant changes and challenges to the educational landscape in North Carolina.

This transition coincided with notable gains in school choice, providing families with more options for their children's education.
Reading achievement emerged as a focal point, with initiatives aimed at improving literacy rates among students. These efforts were crucial, especially in light of the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had disrupted learning for many.
Additionally, policy changes were implemented to support educators and enhance the overall quality of education. However, the year was not without its challenges, as the state faced the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which caused significant disruptions in various districts.
