Since my election to the board in 2020, our state’s legislature has passed several pieces of polarizing legislation aimed at having a direct and prolonged impact on the state of public education in North Carolina.

To keep our best teachers, they need more money. Don’t lower our standards of our children. We want them to be ready for college, trade school, community college and everyday life.
