Find out how House Republicans are keeping their legislative promises to the people of North Carolina. Here is an update of the Republicans 100 Day Legislative Agenda.
On Monday evening, Senate Bill 8, “An Act to Remove the Cap on the Number of Charter Schools,” passed the House by a vote of 68 – 51. Despite its unanimous support from Republicans and one courageous Democrat, changes to the charter school legislation have raised questions by some as it now heads to conference. Let’s clarify some of the concerns surrounding Senate Bill 8:
The state is facing a $3 billion shortfall in this year’s budget. House Bill 41 has so much potential to improve the public education system by saving the state money while alleviating strain on the classroom and teacher. It has the potential to save the state and local governments $51 million dollars a year while providing a better experience for public school students.
We have many challenges ahead in the next few months. I am disappointed that the Department has wandered so far outside of its own jurisdiction as they have done in this instance.
The Fiscal Memorandum for HB-41 was prepared by the North Carolina General Assembly’s non-partisan staff and outlines the savings to our state for allowing parents to have choice in education.
