Statewide nonprofit dedicated to supporting public schools.
Public dollars should come with public accountability. Safety is a big deal! Currently, only ONE staff member at a private school has to pass a criminal background check. That's just wrong. Make schools that get vouchers follow the same safety guidelines as public schools!

This school received nearly $300 K in NC state tax dollar last year, yet administrators refuse to admit students with serious learning challenges. Why should PUBLIC dollars be going to schools that are not open to the PUBLIC? It's WRONG! #nced #ncpublicschools #ncpol

NC public schools help create successful communities. In the competitive global economy, having a strong public school system driving an educated, aware and humane workforce attracts business and investments to a community. #ncpta #nced #ncpublicschools

This private school received more than $4.7 MILLION in taxpayer-funded voucher tuition payments from the state in 2024-25 and yet they only accept students who are easy to teach. Let's stop this taxpayer scam! #nced #ncpublicschools

Imagine this message coming from a public school in NC. Never! Full transparency and accountability for disciplinary processes should be required of all schools that accept taxpayer-funded vouchers for tuition! Contact your legislators. They can make the change.

You know that there is serious gaslighting going on when voucher supporters call this "parental choice or school choice." It's the SCHOOL that is CHOOSING the students to accept/educate. Private school vouchers are a taxpayer scam! #nced #ncpublicschools #ncpol

The truth is that private schools choose their students. Parents may have an illusion of choice, but if the school no longer wants to educate their child, the parent has no recourse. Require schools that accept vouchers to admit ALL students who apply (to capacity). See what happens. #nced #Edusky

A bill in NC (HB 806) addresses the teacher shortage by allowing traditional public schools to have only 50% of teachers licensed. But the teacher shortage isn't an accident. Read our blog from a teacher-educator to learn more. #nced #ncpublicschools #ncpol

This is how NC private schools pick the students they want. This is just ONE example of many throughout the state. It's another example of where public dollars should NOT be going. Public dollars should support schools that accept ALL students! #nced #ncpublicschools #Edusky

In 2024, NC state lawmakers lifted the income cap on private school vouchers. Since then, even wealthy families are getting taxpayer money for private school tuition! Wake private schools have received more than $100 MILLION since the program started! This is a taxpayer scam and should be stopped.

New data from Louisiana's voucher program shows clearly why the NCGA refuses to look at voucher student achievement data. They know it will be ugly. “If the goal was to improve achievement, then the program is not succeeding,”
