New Dimensions Charter School (NDS) in Morganton received its 10-year charter school renewal from the Charter School Review Board on Jan. 12, meaning they are fully licensed to operate for another decade.

School closures have been extended through Oct. 4 in North Carolina's Buncombe County. The decision follows a leadership meeting by BCPS, during which the district assessed the condition of 24 campuses facing power outages, water issues, and damaged facilities. Specific schools like Freedom High School suffered significant damage including roof leaks and field house destruction. Evaluation for reopening next week will depend on key factors like water and power restoration. In response to the situation, the Board of Education called an emergency meeting for Oct. 1. Additional closures impacting various institutions such as NCSSM, New Dimension Charter School, and WPCC highlight the widespread impact of the circumstances on the education community.
