Governor Mike Easley will meet with the Commission for the first time in his administration at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, following the swearing in of new members. He will give his charge to the Commission, and discuss the proposal to establish more alternative learning programs for suspended and expelled students across the state as mentioned in his State of the State address.
