C is for Coupons for the Wealthy. Now, these wealthy families can use a school voucher as a coupon to defray costs while public schools are struggling to cover costs of providing a basic free public education.

The immense value of human teachers! 'To be sure, AI can do sophisticated things...But the idea that a machine or a chatbot can actually teach as a human can, represents a profound misunderstanding of what AI is actually capable of”

Yes! Now NCGA, let's see real salary increases! “If we’re serious about hanging on to capable educators, and attracting new ones, we should start treating them like true professionals. And one place to begin is compensation.'

Incredible. Some in the NCGA plan to prioritize spending more on vouchers next year. The announcement comes on the heels of massive increases in teacher attrition rates and impending child care closures. Let's fix priorities folks!

Charlotte-Meck SD is asking local commissioners to make up for paltry state funding. This is happening across the state. But too many legislators are choosing corporate tax cuts and private school vouchers instead of public schools.

Delayed openings for eight charter schools and one withdrawn application. Why don't we put all of this energy into making our local public schools better for all students?

ABCs of Vouchers: B is for Bankrupting NC’s Budget. Taxpayers should not have to fund a separate private system while our public schools are struggling from over a decade of underfunding and disruptions caused by the pandemic.

Is this the best place to put millions in state funds? 'Unlike trad school board members, charter school bd members are not elected & can’t, by law, be paid...It’s not uncommon to see board members resign when the going gets rough.'

Celebrate success! Even with all of the underfunding and culture war distractions, NC public schools still outperform the nation on growth in early grades reading. Way to go NC educators and public school students!

Let's see if the NC General Assembly finally takes real action. They can't deny any longer! 'The fundamental truth is we don't have the base compensation right for our teachers in the state,” said Board of Ed vice chair Alan Duncan

The NCGA allocates $ to cover some costs but caps per-student $ far below the actual # of students w/disabilities. Reports have rec. removing the cap and providing $ based on student needs, but lawmakers haven’t made major changes.
