@nckhui Great news. Hopefully the letter will be sent, the legislature will listen and will move NC up from the bottom in the nation in education funding. Our teachers should have professional, competitive salaries!

RT @joshcowenMSU: Well, 5 states that passed/expanded voucher schemes in the past 2 years also rolled back child labor protections.

@ForwardCarolina And the picture is likely to get much worse now that there are no limits to who can get them. All families already sending kids to private school can get taxpayer $ to pay their tuition

Public school advocates celebrated public school champion Mo Green's win as the next superintendent of public instruction. However, he faces a tough challenge given the last decade of legislative neglect. #nced #ncpublicschools #ncpol
