North Carolina's unbelievable and embarrassing disinvestment in public education • NC Newsline It's unbelievable and embarrassing that NC public schools rank 48th in the nation in per-student funding and 49th in funding effort

This is good summary of what's wrong with pub. edu. in #NC. One thing I would add is the inability of our teacher organizations like #NCAE to collectively bargain. We are handcuffed to a gerrymandered Republican-held G.A. that has been chipping away at #PublicEducation for years.

Tamika Walker Kelly, president of the NC Association of Educators, said that the legislature should step up its funding, rather than ask school employees and state workers to shoulder higher costs.

“It’s not only unfair, but it is unsustainable,” Walker-Kelly told the trustees. #ncpol #ncae

Head Start Teacher and Civil Rights Lawyer Turns Her Social Justice Lens to Math Andrea McChristian, a Yale and Columbia Law School grad, takes on a new role with nonprofit Just Equations, seeing math equity as her next mission.

This is a timely piece given the N.C. House's recent move to lower high school mathematics graduation requirements. Let's not sell our students short: "There’s not a lack of talent, there’s a lack of opportunity.” #nced #ncpublicschools #ncae #ncpta

'A disservice to our students': Parents, school employees weigh in on Wake's proposed budget changes Superintendent Robert Taylor is proposing a budget increase but also wants to cut $18 million, including some counselors.

Wow. In Wake Cty, budget cut discussions reveal that currently, there is only ONE plumber for every 50 schools in the district. Why are our public districts scraping for crumbs when privates make out like bandits w/taxpayer funded vouchers? #nced #ncpublicschools #ncae
