The best ticket to the American Dream and to keeping our state prosperous is through free, high-quality public schools.

Our state is strongest when we all have a chance to succeed. The best ticket to the American Dream and to keeping our state prosperous is through free, high quality public schools. Providing quality public schools for all children used to be a nonpartisan issue, but unfortunately that’s not true anymore. 

Every child deserves a quality education, no matter the color of their skin or where they call home. Public schools should not be about politics, but our children and their future, we need to once again make public schools a place where we can all come together and work to succeed. 

Investing in our public schools now means a stronger economy and future for North Carolina. We need to retain good teachers and principals, maintain modern facilities, and give students the tools they need to succeed.
