We are proud to host the Congressional App Challenge, an excellent opportunity for middle and high school students in North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District to try their hands at building an app and get national recognition! For more information go to dondavis.house.gov/other-special-…

The NC Senate voted today to add $248 million for vouchers to clear the waitlist. The waitlist is mostly wealthy families. This is a complete abdication of their responsibility to the state. #nced #ncpublicschools #ncpol #supportncpublicschools publicschoolsfirstnc.org/engage/sign-ou…

This voucher mess is a perfect example of how gerrymandering corrupts our policy. Taxpayer-funded vouchers are unpopular and just bad policy - but thanks to gerrymandering, the NCGOP are more accountable to moneyed interests than their constituents. #ncpol wral.com/story/most-nc-…

I am *so* glad the NC Supreme Court is concerned about voter disenfranchisement! Confident they will apply the same unassailably nonpartisan legal reasoning to the “countless” voters disenfranchised by voter ID, extreme partisan gerrymandering, etc. #ncpol

Here's what the NC Senate did on Monday. They exploded the OS voucher funding (RED bars). What started at $10.8 M in 2014 is $541.5 M this year. All $ that should be going to public schools & teacher raises. Sign our petition! #nced #ncpublicschools #ncpol ow.ly/Bbk550TkkYm

Imagine how much better NC's students with disabilities would be doing if legislators had done their job and fully funded the Leandro Plan? ednc.org/09-09-2024-new…? #nced #ncpol #LeadWithLeandro

"Through Monday, 146,603 requests for absentee ballots, including more than 12,900 from military and overseas voters, had been received." #ncpol #Election2024 ncnewsline.com/briefs/youre-p… via NC Newsline

"The bill passed the House 67-43, mostly along party lines. Three Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the bill: Reps. Carla Cunningham of Charlotte, Shelly Willingham of Rocky Mount, and Michael Wray of Gaston." #nced #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/politics-…

On the same day that Republicans in Raleigh forced private school vouchers on us, South Carolina’s Supreme Court threw out their fledgling K-12 voucher program as unconstitutional. Even in conservative states, the voucher scheme is being rejected. scdailygazette.com/2024/09/11/sc-…

The "Neglected Northeast" is 'Ground Zero' for the policy consequences of the North Carolina state legislature. #neglectednortheastnc #ruralnc #ncpol

I'm a Leandro kid as I was a high school sophomore in original plaintiff Halifax County Schools when the lawsuit was filed in Halifax County Superior Court in 1994. I am disgusted by the blatant disregard of our legislature to uphold the constitution & fully fund Leandro. #nced #ncpol

North Carolina has fewer teacher vacancies this school year. But why are so many not licensed? The 3,142 teacher vacancies are 30% fewer than 2 years ago. School districts increasingly rely more on residency-licensed teachers to fill the gap. #nced #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/local/edu…

Despite having one of the largest economies in the country North Carolina invest $4000 less per student than the national average. Our children are paying the price. High school calculus classes are being taught by substitutes with no college degree. #nced #ncpol
