Are you effing kidding me. This is rich from Cathy who has done nothing to convince her NCGA besties to care about adequately funding NC public schools.
While I sympathize with the teachers and other school personnel over the incompetence that is Durham Public Schools’ leadership, you should NEVER walk out on your students. #ncga #ncpol #nced

Durham schools superintendent Pascal Mubenga resigns after accounting error sparks chaos. District CFO resigned already. The past few weeks have seen staff protests that led to school closures. (Via @maryhelenmoore) #nced #ncpol

The Marlins put up quite a fight against the Tigers in the semifinals, but in the end Gideon's season ended tonight. We're so proud of his growth this year and continue to be impressed with @raleighparks Fall youth baseball!

@MBristow_Smith @NCLeg It’s even worse if you go back a decade to 2013. A teacher at the top of the scale was paid $53,180 plus $2393 in longevity pay, for a total of $55,573, which means teachers at the top of the scale are paid $473 less in the new budget than they were paid in 2013

@MBristow_Smith @NCLeg Let’s put this in real perspective. A teacher in 2008 at the top of the scale was paid $52,550 by the state and $2,365 in longevity pay, for a total of $54,915. A teacher at the top of the scale in this new budget will be paid $55,100–an increase $185 over the past 15 years.

Aidvantage finally let me know what my monthly payments will be, and that I start paying again in January. They'll be paid off after our 8th grader is finished with college and 22 years after I started repayment. I'll be 51. 🤷🏻♀️

Here’s the school privatizer playbook: —> Frame schools that struggle with poverty and the effects of institutional racism as failing —> Divert their funding to charters and private schools —> Document the results as additional “evidence” of failure —> Repeat #nced
