^^^^great question, Geraldine!! Who holds NCGA accountable to implementing equitable funding?

AMEN!!!!!
Susie Scott

If we are advocating locally, is there a place where we can find the amount of new funding that would be coming to our local LEAs and counties under Leandro?
Matt Ellinwood

Yes! https://everychildnc.org/leandro-impact-analysis-2/#top

How will we hold onto this win after the disaster on Tuesday regards Supreme Court and Court of Appeals? Our democracy is almost totally without any checks and balances, hence badly impaired. The legislature isn’t done with this.

I have been teaching at a small community college for 13 years. It is in a low-income, high minority area. I have had students who have not received the educations they need to prepare them for college courses. Some do well; some do not. This investment in our children will make their lives better, and it will make my job much easier, with better results. Thanks for fighting for our children.
