Let's take a look back on what Teacher Pay looked like in 2008.

Poll - What should NC prioritize in the next state budget? A. Raise educator pay OR B. More corporate tax cuts

The REAL Leandro ruling just came out and nullifies all rulings since 2017 BASED ON A TECHNICALITY - NO JOKE! The Court has failed to protect our CONSTITUTIONAL rights. We need to hold them and lawmakers accountable! VOTE #nced #ncpublicschools https://appellate.nccourts.org/opinions/?c=1&pdf=45764#nced

What the court tries to pass off as a legal technicality is, instead, a moral failure. The people paying the price for our leaders' failure are not abstractions. They are the generations of children in rural communities, past and present, who waited for 30 years for a promise never fulfilled.

Local school districts all over North Carolina are flashing 🚨warning🚨 signs that they don't have the resources to do what they've been asked to do. But this isn't just a local issue - these are all related. It's a deliberate strategy by the leaders of the North Carolina state legislature.

Tomorrow is Primary Election Day! Make your voice heard!

Welcome to this week’s EdInsight. As we approach the end of Black History Month, we’d like to talk about why Brown v. Board of Education still matters.

Roy Cooper has been a champion for our public schools, our educators, and North Carolina's working-class families. He has always pushed to empower our educators and for our state to make meaningful investments in our schools.

Black educators have an impact at every level of education. We are grateful for the wisdom, experience, and skill they bring to our public schools each day. We want to give them a special shout-out and express our gratitude.

Since 2013, state leaders have enacted a series of laws that steadily reduced personal income tax rates and set the state on a path to eliminate the corporate income tax entirely.

Public funds for private schools are projected to grow to $825 million by 2033. Currently, hundreds of millions are going to families whose children already attend private schools.

The Primary Election is just one week away! This is the last week for in-person early voting, which ends Feb. 28th. Click here to find an early voting location near you: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/EVSite/
