This seems like a good time to remind people that a massive audit by the NC State Board of Elections on the 2016 general election found only one case of voter fraud out of nearly 5 million ballots cast that would have been prevented by voter id. #ncpol #ncga @NCSBE
In that case, a woman voted for Donald Trump on her deceased mother’s behalf because her mom was a huge Trump fan and had passed away just days before the presidential election. ImageImage
This move has nothing to do with protecting election integrity and everything to do with protecting Republicans’ stranglehold on political power in this purple state. #ncpol

Good time to re-share my favorite submissions to Lt. Governor @markrobinsonNC’s leftist teacher indoctrination complaint portal:

notesfromthechalkboard.com/2021/07/03/man… #nced #ncpol
My daughter is a freshman and in her class last week she was told by her History teacher that she had to use Times New Roman font in her essay.  We are offended because the Romans killed Jesus!  I can't believe her school hates the lord!! Image
My daughter's teacher recently Ms. Peffercorn was teaching the kids about left angles in her 4th grade math class.  Now I'm concerned that she is being indoctrinated with liberal propaganda because they never taught her about right angles! Image

Tomorrow the NC State Board of Education will vote on the attached request to the General Assembly to authorize and fund a merit pay and revised teacher licensure pilot program.

#nced #ncga #ncpol #PathwaysToExodus
The program would be implemented in “public-school districts of varying size and geographic diversity” in school year 2024-25 following a year of planning in 23-24.
The pilot would run five years after that initial planning year. Superintendent Truitt says they want 5-15 districts, depends on GA funding allocation.

Important update on the February 15 @BelkFoundation merit pay for @CharMeckSchools panel discussion:

#nced #ncpol #PathwaysToExodus
Recently it came to my attention that the Belk Foundation planned to host a panel discussion on the Pathways to Excellence merit pay proposal at UNCC next month starring State Superintendent Catherine Truitt, State Board of Education Chair Eric Davis and others.
From the event description it seemed likely the goal of this discussion was to sweet talk Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools into piloting the merit pay system, possibly as soon as next school year.

Never forget that state superintendent @CTruittNCDPI schemed with #PEPSC Chair Patrick Miller and @edstateboard_nc member Jill Camnitz to prevent @EducationNC from collecting teacher feedback on the merit pay proposal because she wouldn’t have control of the responses. #nced ImageImage
At the same meeting, Truitt’s Chief of Staff Shelby Armentrout said “If teachers come out against it then it’ll be dead on arrival.”

Don’t ever doubt the power of your educator voice. 🗣️🍎 #nced #ncpol

notesfromthechalkboard.com/2022/07/05/ncd…
Speaking of fear of teachers, next month Truitt and the Belk Foundation are holding an event to try to schmooze Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools into volunteering to pilot merit pay. eventbrite.com/e/the-belk-fou…

teaching ≠ incarceration

At this week's #PEPSC Commission meeting, a member of the group tasked with moving NC to a merit pay system of licensing and compensating teachers referred to the career of the traditional classroom teacher as "incarceration."

#nced #ncpol
With all due respect to Dr. Sam Houston (CEO of The North Carolina Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education Center) and his distinguished education resume, he hasn't worked as a classroom teacher in 40+ years and it shows.
Dr. Houston's cringeworthy comment effectively illustrates the problem with having no currently practicing traditional classroom teachers at the table when policy that will most directly impact classroom teachers is being developed.

With all due respect to Eckel and Vaughan's marketing advice here, lowering the bar so that anyone who can pass some online quizzes can become a teacher is not a "student first model"--it's a recipe for disaster. #nced #ncpol
Research is clear that the most important driver of student learning is having an excellent teachers.
This approach would essentially allow anyone with a pulse to become a teacher. @SREBeducation and the Human Capital Roundtable, who drafted the plan at SBE's behest, would tell you that's fine because the "effectiveness measures" in Pathways will tell us who's doing a good job.
