In November, Mo Green (Democrat) defeated Michel Morrow (Republican) in the NC superintendent race. Mr Green is hosting 8 "listening and learning" sessions across the state and will be at Tuscola High School in Waynesville on March 17th. All parents, students, educators, school and district staff, public officials, and other community members are invited to attend.

According to the "Making the Grade" report by the nonprofit Education Law Center, in the 2022-23 school year, North Carolina public schools spent over 17.2 billion on instructional expenses, using a combination of state, federal, and local resources. State funding accounted for 61% of expenditures, federal funding accounted for 17%, and local funding accounted for 22%. In the same year 98.7% of capital expenses were paid by local governments.

According to U.S. Census Bureau data for the year 2022, NC ranked 48th out of 50 states and the District of Columbia, spending $11,777 in state and local revenue per public school student in pre-k through 12th grade. That's 30% below the national average expenditure of $16,131 per student. That total does not include capital expenditures (like school construction.)
