More firearms have been seized in recent months at Raleigh-Durham International Airport security checkpoints, according to the Transportation Security Administration. The TSA will share an update at 9:30 a.m. on Monday. Flyers can travel with guns, but there are some rules. Guns must be unloaded and locked in a hard-sided case in a checked bag, and travelers should tell the airline about the firearm at the check-in counter. Firearms are allowed as checked baggage only.

In January, we learned of two troopers accused of lying about the events leading up to a deadly crash in Raleigh. On Friday, we may see the video that led to all those charges getting dismissed. WRAL News previously reported on search warrants that detailed what body-worn and dash cameras showed following that crash that claimed the life of Tyrone Mason. A media coalition, including WRAL, is asking a judge to make those videos public. Raleigh police isn't the group fighting the release.

Gov. Josh Stein's student safety task force will meet Thursday to discuss cell phone policies in public schools. Conversations are ramping up among state lawmakers about cell phone policies in schools. Some legislation banning cellphones has already passed in the state legislature, but it's not official yet. Many schools already ban cellphones, but not all have policies. At Dillard Drive Middle School, students have to keep their phones off and away unless it’s during lunch.

The Wake County Board of Education voted Tuesday night on a budget to send to Wake County commissioners that includes a request for about $40 million more from the county. It also includes more than $18 million in cuts, largely to digital learning coordinators, social workers, counselors, some secretaries, some school supplies and other expenses -- less than 1% of the district's more than $2.2 billion budget.
