The NC Supreme Court's Leandro decision is going to make a terrible problem even worse. The fix now has to come from our state lawmakers. Contact them and urge them to better fund our public schools! #nced #ncpublicschools #ncga #ncpol
“This isn’t the end,” Jenice Ramirez... ‘This is a time to build a stronger movement, to build power, to put even more pressure on our state legislators, state leaders, our governor and our state superintendent of public schools.” #ncpol ncnewsline.com/2026/04/08/a...

North Carolinians deserve to know whether Phil Berger's replacement will support funding the Leandro Plan, or whether they will continue to adopt his radical view that the General Assembly can ignore the parts of the state constitution they don't like. #ncpol #LeadWithLeandro
Kudos to @triangleblogblog.bsky.social for explaining to their readers that the budget challenges faced in Chapel Hill-Carrboro are due to the failure of *state* legislators' unwillingness to fund the Leandro Plan. Other #ncpol journalists, please take note!

A reminder that the budget challenges faced by Cumberland County (and every other school district across the state) are a direct result of the General Assembly's decision to give tax cuts to corporations instead of funding the Leandro Plan #ncpol #LeadWithLeandro
Lawmakers Question Cumberland School Leaders About Closings, Funding
State lawmakers questioned Cumberland County school district leaders about school closings, funding gaps, and teacher retention on Friday.

It seems wild to not mention that these cuts would be unnecessary if lawakers simply did their job and funded the Leandro Plan. Why is that context unimportant, @keunghui.bsky.social? #ncpol #LeadWithLeandro
Wake schools will make more budget cuts. Here’s why it says they’re needed.
The superintendent wants to ask commissioners for an increase of around $25 million. But he says that won’t meet all the needs.

Our students deserve lawmakers who will fight for their constitutional rights. Sadly, such lawmakers are few and far between. #ncpol #LeadWithLeandro
Kris Nordstrom@krisnordstrom.bsky.social · 7mo agoI think it’s pretty clear why the NC Supreme Court has been sitting on its Leandro decision for more than two years #ncpol

Under Leandro, the state was supposed to pass a $2bn school bond to help counties with their capital needs. Again, it's unclear why the author denies their readers this important context that explains why these problems exist. #ncpol

"the waitlist for subsidized care is seven times bigger than in mid-2024, increasing from 2,164 children in July 2024 to 15,512 in December 2025" Under Leandro, the state was supposed to provide funding to eliminate the child care subsidy waitlist. Seems like something worth mentioning 🤷♀️ #ncpol
