New COVID-19 cases are soaring in the community and in schools as Wake County prepares to bring back the most students it’s had on campus since before the pandemic. On Monday, most of Wake County’s 160,000 students will attend in-person classes as traditional-calendar schools hold their first day.

Wake County has seven commissioners who are elected by district.
