@pierce4nchouse.bsky.social"Supporters of the new policy change say the exam was a barrier for some who wanted to pursue a career in teaching. In the past, those who failed to pass the test by the end of their sophomore year were forced to switch majors." #nced #nchighered #ncpol
@keunghui.bsky.socialAt CMS, minority students see gains in standardized tests. But concerns remain.

@publicschoolsfirstnc.orgWhat happened to separation of church and state? This school is a mission of a Baptist church and received more than $3 MILLION in taxpayer-funded tuition voucher payments in 2025-26. PUBLIC dollars belong in PUBLIC schools! #nced #ncpublicschools

@publicschoolsfirstnc.orgHow do voucher supporters maintain the fantasy that vouchers are good for student achievement? They remove the evidence that vouchers are actually awful. TN shows how it's done. NC lawmakers have never enforced a requirement for comparable testing. #nced #ncpublicschools
