97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell guest-hosts “News On The Hill” for Wednesday, June 11. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP asks for due process and patience in the review of Carrboro High School’s principal, a hot topic that sparked a student-led walkout last month. The school district welcomes its new superintendent, who shares some of his early priorities in the role. As the local governments pass their budgets, the Orange Water and Sewer Authority is also preparing to do so — and preparing another round of rate increases it says are necessary for major infrastructure projects. A Chapel Hill restaurant closes after 14 years of service. And in sports: Mexico and Türkiye’s friendly is another international soccer success in Kenan Stadium, UNC sends seven athletes to compete in the outdoor track and field championships, Bill Belichick shares where UNC football’s players have already seen improvement, and Carolina women’s basketball reportedly adds a new showcase to its non-conference schedule.
