“We have a supermajority in the General assembly that is waving the white flag on public schools.” -Dante Pittman, Candidate for NC House District 24 #EggsandIssues24 #PublicSchoolForum
Governor Roy Cooper on education policy: 1) Great things are happening in NC Public Schools 2) Let’s put a moratorium on vouchers until we fully fund public schools 3) Let’s fairly compensate teachers 4) Let’s expand access to early education and Pre-K #EggsandIssues2024
“NC won’t continue to be first in business if we are last in education.” -Governor Roy Cooper #EggsandIssues2024 #PublicSchoolForum
Governor Roy Cooper: “Legislators have created a myth that NC Public Schools are failing our students. But they have it twisted. NC Legislators are failing our public schools.” #EggsandIssues2024 #NCPublicSchoolForum
HUGE thank you to Rep. @B_RayJeffers for visiting our school today and taking a whole hour to speak to my English III students about their policy projects and the importance of advocacy. You’re inspiring the next generation of NC policymakers and advocates!
NC teachers’ salaries are worth less today than at any time in recent memory. Since 2018, NC teachers have seen the value of their pay enter free fall. It shouldn’t be a surprise that 7-8% of teachers have left the profession each of the last two years. #NC #Education #Teachers
The cornerstone of democracy is a free and public education for all. If you value children, democracy, or the wellbeing of our country, this crisis should concern you. Greatly. #NCEd

It’s not your imagination. Teacher pay in NC is decreasing. Chart: NC teacher salaries in the past 20 years, converted to 2023 dollars. Red line = 2004; Black line = today New teachers: -11.6% Mid-career: -16.9% Veteran teachers: -23.6% This is the crisis in one image. #NCEd

Such a cool middle school course being taught at Envision Science Academy! Students choose their own language to study and complete modules on DuoLingo. They also do culturally relevant projects, like this one where they designed a food truck and menu for their target culture!

Why are there 5,000 teaching vacancies in North Carolina? I started teaching in NC in 2016 and starting pay was $35k. Today, starting pay is $37k. $35k in 2016 is equal to $44k+ in 2023 dollars. Our first year teachers have effectively taken a 16% pay cut since 2016. #NCEd
Please take 2 minutes to read about where we are headed with the Senate budget. Experienced teachers getting raises of $200 per YEAR. I guess they can go to McDonald's an extra time each month with their $19. @theNCForum ednc.org/north-carolina…
after the vote was taken tonight, folks in the gallery were loud. our right to our own bodies was just voted on. and tonight, the people just yelled. we’re tired, that’s for sure, but more than that, we’re angry. we’re motivated. and there’s a movement behind us. ✊
🚨 NC Senate and House Republicans will vote TOMORROW to override Governor Cooper’s veto on SB-20. This veto keeps clinics open, abortion access legal, and health care accessible for folks across the South. Show up tomorrow with us to tell Republicans — #BansOffOurBodies.
Huge congratulations to @DrPatrickGreene @Gina4Lit @howIteachHS for turning this idea into a reality! #nced is so lucky to have you. @theNCForum
It was so great to see this vision come to reality today! None of this would have happened without the amazing crew @theNCForum that guided us in making the connections and working through the logistics. @howIteachHS @Gina4Lit and I are so excited about this work! #NCTOYPOY
Senate Republicans propose a pitiful 4.5% raise for teachers spread over 2 years while giving tax breaks and private school vouchers to millionaires. Disastrous. My budget proposes a much-needed 18% raise to keep quality teachers in the classroom. - RC
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to my team, the 2022 @BWFUND NC State Teachers of the Year. Thank you for your love, support, and kindness this year. You have inspired me to be a better educator and you have helped me become a better person. We started of this journey as…
As has been the case for the past decade, NC Senate GOP budget does not include restoration of extra pay for master's degrees for teachers. House had included it this year but Senate, notably Phil Berger, has been opposed to bringing it back. #nced #ncpol #ncga
How about leave the medicine to the doctors and the decisions to the women.
That’s a pay cut when compared to inflation. If you can’t keep your employees, your business is going to struggle. And that’s where we’re at. Record vacancies (Hello, DMV). Public safety risks (prisons). And teachers who are saints but miserable. #wecandobetter

Happy #AANHPIHeritageMonth! Today we celebrated at @wrodell35 by reading this story by @kaokaliayang. As she says, “don’t we all need a reminder that we carry a map inside of our hearts that will bring comfort when someone needs it the most?” How are you celebrating this month?
I’m excited to share that I’m headed back to the classroom this fall! I knew it would take a REALLY special opportunity to draw me out of the social studies classroom and I told myself that whatever I did, it would have to relate to teacher recruitment and retention…

This bill has now been referred to Rules, Calendar, and Operations of the House. If you are passionate about #nced, take the time to read more about this bill, & consider reaching out to your representatives about how it could impact NC students and the teachers who serve them.
The Parents' Bill of Rights passed the Senate and moves on now to the House. What's in the bill, and what was the discussion like on the Senate floor? #nced #ncpol ednc.org/2023-02-07-sen…
