No public comment and a rushed process to push through massive elections law changes strongly suggest that the legislative majority is trying to sneak something past the public. Bad news for our state. #nced #ncpublicschools https://ow.ly/HUf650ZekVM

Healthy school meals for all "improve student attendance, behavior and performance and are often more nutritious than the food students bring from home." Other states have done it. So can NC. #nced #ncpublicschools https://www.wral.com/news/education/wake-school-board-meal-price-vote-june-2026/

Why are Onslow County private schools getting nearly $15 M in taxpayer-funded tuition vouchers this year when public schools are struggling with budgets? Ask state lawmakers! The $51 M that has gone to private schools in Onslow is needed by PUBLIC SCHOOLS! #nced #ncpublicschools @onslowcountyschools

Guilford County public schools could use the $35 MILLION that has already gone to private schools in the county this year. Guilford PUBLIC schools should have the $104 M that private schools in Guilford have taken from the state in voucher tuition. #nced #ncpublicschools #gcschoolsnc

This is another great bill that has been sitting in committee because legislative leadership doesn't want to discuss it. The contents of this bill should be in the budget! #nced #ncublicschools #ncae

Imagine what $32.3 million could do for Craven County’s public schools: more teachers, counselors, bus drivers, and well-maintained schools. Instead, over $26 million in taxpayer dollars has gone to private school vouchers since 2014. Public dollars belong in public schools, supporting every child.

Moving oversight of special ed and civil rights out of the Dept. of Ed. is a deliberate move to undermine the efficacy of both offices. It's tragic that our most vulnerable children are getting stripped of their educational rights. #nced #ncpublicschools https://ow.ly/ZbNB50ZcviS

Unfortunately, NC gets another failing grade because of its lack of support for public schools. We need to turn this ship around and elect more lawmakers who will actually help public schools! #nced #ncpublicschools https://ow.ly/uHVE50Zcmji

Voucher-accepting private schools in Pitt County are getting more than 4 times as much this year as they did before income caps were lifted & all private school students became eligible. Pitt County PUBLIC schools should have received the $31 M that private schools have taken! #nced #ncpublicschools

Did you know that 94 school districts have more students identified as students with disabilities than the state cap allows? Counties fill in the funding gaps!

The taxpayer funds spent on private school tuition at schools in Iredell more than tripled since the income cap was lifted and all private school families could apply (from $2.8M to $9.8M). The $26 MILLION in vouchers total should have gone to PUBLIC SCHOOLS in Iredell! #nced #ncpublicschools

Congratulations to all high school seniors! Your dedication, resilience, and hard work have truly paid off. We are so proud of you! Let’s celebrate our graduates and the promise they bring to our communities and public schools.

Now this is a much better use of the money the legislature has designated for vouchers - use it to make sure teachers and other state employees aren't getting a pay cut due to stagnant salaries and increasing healthcare premiums! #nced #ncpublicschools

SB 960 (Modernized Children with Disabilities Funding) is another important bill stalled in committee. It would increase the state’s special education funding cap, helping more school districts access the resources needed to support students with disabilities.

Durham wouldn't need a property tax hike if the state put voucher money into PUBLIC schools instead of private schools. The tax hike raises $17 million for Durham PS, but private schools in Durham have already received $52.9 million. It's wrong. Call your lawmakers! #nced #ncpublicschools

Public schools in Mecklenburg County could have done a lot with the $56.6 MILLION that went to private schools instead of CMS. Public dollars belong in PUBLIC schools. See the private schools and how much they received here: https://ow.ly/Y4EZ50ZarMP #nced #ncpublicschools #charmeckschools

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! Your dedication, resilience, and hard work have brought you to this incredible milestone. Let’s celebrate your achievements and the promise you bring to North Carolina!

What happened to local control? When the state doesn't adequately fund schools, healthcare, and communities, the local governments are forced to fill gaps. This law would limit what local governments could do for their communities. #nced #ncpublicschools

Imagine what $34 million could do for Catawba County’s public schools: more teachers, support staff, bus drivers, and improved school facilities. Instead, over $27 million in taxpayer dollars have gone to private school vouchers since 2014. Our students deserve strong, fully funded public schools.

Good news for reading instruction for students in ed. prep. programs. But funding for literacy coaches is being cut due to skimpy state budgets. Let's go state lawmakers - fund our public schools! #nced #ncpublicschools https://ow.ly/sSOs50Z9l0h

Let's hope this bill stalls in committee. It is still in the House. What we don't need in education is more partisanship with elected state school board members, especially from gerrymandered districts! #nced #ncpubliced

Cabarrus County schools could gain $66.5 million with full Leandro funding—supporting more teachers, counselors, bus drivers, and safe learning environments. Meanwhile, nearly $30 million has gone to private school vouchers since 2014. Public funds should strengthen public schools.

Wouldn't it be great if the state funded robust teacher salaries and school - county boards didn't have to pick up the slack. #nced #ncpublicschools https://ow.ly/ckP150Z92f0
