North Carolina Association of Educators

Congrats to our newest Principal of the Year! 🎉 @ncae #nced

To all the teachers across North Carolina – Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I’m excited to establish the Governor’s Teacher Advisory Committee so I can hear directly from you about how best to serve our kids.

Public dollars should be spent on public schools.

"If we're paying people who are working with kids $31,000 then we are saying that we know that we are taking the people who we trust our kids with, and we're forcing them to live below the poverty line," NC drops to 43rd in nation for teacher pay wunc.org/education/2025…

Take Action Now: This bill will be up for debate in the North Carolina House of Representatives on Wednesday, April 16th. Make your voice heard! bit.ly/4csUgsi #nced

We all want a better and brighter future for our children and grandchildren, and no one understands that our children are our future more than educators.  Thank you to the dedicated educators at @NCAE for having @MoGreenNCDPI and me this morning.

Public schools are the heart of our communities, providing essential educational services to our 1.5 million @ncpublicschools students and serving as a top-five employer in every North Carolina county. #nced #ncpol Full statement on @usedgov cuts ⬇️

Help protect North Carolina public schools! Contact Senator Thom Tillis today and urge him to protect Title I and IDEA funding! It’s important to protect these resources for students who rely on them. bit.ly/3F2On8U #ProtectPublicEducation

Many of you have seen a bill filed in the NCGA that would increase teacher pay scales by $9,000-12,000 annually. H192 was filed by Rep. Erin Pare, a Wake County Republican, and now has significant bipartisan support. Below is our statement on the bill. It’s certainly a hopeful sign about what is possible in this session. We are ready to work with anyone who will take this issue seriously.

I want to know! As part of my “Mo Wants to Know” initiative, I am traveling to all eight regions of @ncpublicschools in March and April to listen & learn from stakeholders passionate about public education. Learn more & register: dpi.nc.gov/news/press-rel… #nced

It is well known that education is the greatest equalizer of lifelong success, and it is imperative that we sufficiently fund education for the betterment of not only our citizens, but also our state’s future. As North Carolina’s public education authority, it is our duty to ensure that our schools are cultivating excellence, and I believe these legislative priorities and budgetary asks support our mission at NCDPI and keep students at the center of our work.
