Extremist politicians in the NC legislature are systematically underfunding our public schools while expanding the controversial Opportunity Scholarship program. Over the next 10 years, $4 billion in taxpayer money will be diverted from public education to subsidize private school tuition, often for wealthy families, without proper oversight or accountability.
Join New Rural Project on Monday, June 30, 2025, at 6:30 PM as we host an Urgent Conversation with special guest NC Superintendent of Public Instruction Maurice “Mo” Green. This important event will confront the deep inequities in education funding and explore what we must do, together, to defend and uplift public education in our state.
This inequitable funding creates real barriers for students across our state. Public schools, which serve the vast majority of North Carolina’s children, are struggling with outdated materials, underpaid teachers, and crumbling infrastructure, while taxpayer dollars flow into private institutions that aren’t held to the same standards.
North Carolina’s students deserve fully funded public schools, not policies that widen the gap between the haves and have-nots.
