Roy Cooper is a proud graduate of public schools and the son of a public school teacher. As the next Senator from North Carolina, he’ll do everything he can to make sure students and teachers have the resources they need for success.
But attacking public education is high on the GOP’s far-right agenda. Early on during the administration, they gutted the Department of Education. Then, they delayed billions in school funding over the summer — sending educators here in NC and across the country into a tailspin. And their proposed budget would SLASH $12 billion from public education entirely.
