More Charter Schools Coming To NC!

NC GOP Senate leaders approved a bill that would increase the number of charter schools in the state.  The bill passed largely along party lines vote.  Democrats are against the bill and rightly so when you consider the effects increased Charter schools will have on public school across the state.

What does this mean for public schools?  Beyond a shadow of a doubt, public schools will lose money resulting in more budget cuts on top of what school districts across the state already face.  Public school teachers better get ready to "face the music" of further lay offs, larger class sizes, and even less classroom resources, thanks to the GOP.
