@krisnordstrom.bsky.social's new report with @creed-nc.bsky.social refutes the narrative that NC's school funding system is equitable. The results show the dire need to improve funding adequacy and equity via the Leandro Plan

Yes, "the court’s Republican justices put the money transfer on hold," but it didn't put on hold the NCGA's ongoing obligation to fund future years of the Leandro Plan.

Why won't anyone mention that state leaders are violating an open court order!?!??!?!?!

600 days later, still no NC Supreme Court ruling on Leandro school funding case. It's been 20 months since the court heard oral arguments. Case has been on hold since the court blocked enforcement of 2022 decision to transfer funds to schools. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic... #nced #ncpol

Under the Leandro Plan, state leaders were legally obligated to improve teacher diversity by implementing the recommendations from Gov Cooper’s DRIVE Task Force. It’s unclear why the story below withholds this relevant information.

The National Council on Teacher Quality report comes as the Trump administration has defunded federal efforts to promote teacher diversity.

“Altogether, the state received 92 applications totaling nearly $2 billion”

It would be great if the article had mentioned that, under the Leandro Plan, state leaders were supposed to issue a $2bn school construction bond

The Senate budget fails to fund years 6 and 7 of the eight-year Leandro plan.

While no surprise, it should be a major scandal. Legislators are ignoring existing court orders and violating the constitutional rights of 1.5 million students to fund tax cuts for their donors.

As a reminder, the General Assembly is subject to an open court order, requiring them to fully fund the Leandro Plan. The courts have been clear that the General Assembly is continuing to violate the constitutional rights of our state's 1.5 million public school students.

The N&O's story about the General Assembly's "mini-budget" has a whole section about "What’s not in the mini budget." Somehow, it fails to mention funding for the Leandro Plan.

We'd love to understand why Leandro fails to garner a mention, @dawnbvaughan.bsky.social

We're two years into waiting for a Leandro ruling. The corruption of the Court is ossifying the continuing tradeoff whereby tax cuts for corporations are paid for by the unconstitutional underfunding of our schools

Opinion: It’s long past time to provide NC students the public schools they deserve
For the sixth year in a row, Rep. Julie von Haefen has introduced a bill to fully fund public schools as required by the state constitution. Republican leaders blocked those efforts, she writes.
