Who’s in Charge

Between 1963 and 1981, the 58 community colleges across North Carolina operated as a federation of quasi-independent colleges. On January 1, 1981, the State Board of Community Colleges assumed full responsibility for the system but continues to focus on systemwide oversight. Each college still has a local Board of Trustees charged with “internal administration, regulation, and governance.”

EARLY CHILDHOOD The Division of Childhood Development and Early Education in the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services was founded in 1993. Funding for early childhood education is found in the DHHS budget line items.

?The governance structure just for K-12 includes the Governor, the Governor’s Education Cabinet, the legislature, the chair of the N.C. State Board of Education, the N.C. State Board of Education, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Department of Public Instruction, the superintendents in 115 districts, 167 charter schools, 100 county commissions that fund the school districts, and a judge presiding over Leandro all serving 1,543,527 students in 2,477 traditional public and 167 charter schools.

COMMUNITY COLLEGE

K-12

Since 1971, the UNC Board of Governors has governed the UNC System, including all 17 campuses. Each campus has a chancellor and a board of trustees. The boards of trustees have duties as delegated by the Board of Governors, and they serve as boards of advisors to the UNC Board of Governors on matters pertaining to the constituent campus.
