Some of our favorite organizers and civil rights advocates in North Carolina signed on to an amicus brief filled with the NC Supreme Court today. everychildnc.prowly.com/198859-educati…
Matt Ellinwood from @ncjustice "The time has come for the North Carolina Supreme Court to act to implement the Comprehensive Remedial Plan on behalf of children whose constitutional rights have been violated for far too long."
.@lethabou Letha Muhammad of Education Justice Alliance "As a Black mother of children who have spent their entire school years in unconstitutionally underfunded public schools, I recognize first-hand how Leandro...will provide...affirming communities our children deserve"
Tamika Walker Kelly @twkelly_EDU "Leandro Plan is all about giving our students the education they are owed. That starts with supporting a diverse and highly-qualified teaching force...."
Deborah Dicks Maxwell,@ncnaacp said: “The courts and the constitution are clear that the quality of a child’s education shouldn’t be limited by their zip code. Every child in this state is owed the right to go to a good school no matter where they live.
.@MarcusBassNC of Advance Carolina, said: “ As this brief shows, if we want to give Black and brown kids equal citizenship in North Carolina, the first step is funding this plan that gives them the bare minimum of what they’re owed under our constitution.”
.@DisabilityRtsNC Ginny Fogg "..For example, the Plan eliminates arbitrary funding caps that currently prevent schools from providing the specially-designed instruction necessary to meet the unique needs of all students with disabilities."
.@ncchild Michelle Hughes "If we want all of NC’s children to thrive, research shows that we must start early. A high-quality early foundation for learning - like that provided under the Leandro Plan - is critical for later success in school..."
