Families can access educational options of their choice, and local school systems are given more autonomy
Families – not bureaucrats ― are in control of their children’s education. All North Carolina families are empowered to choose the education that best fits their children’s needs. Further, local school systems need more flexibility in terms of school calendars, and the option to reward excellence with reforming teacher pay.
Five policy objectives will enable North Carolina to achieve this:
- Eliminate Teacher Salary Schedule
- Revise Education Funding Formulas
- Develop universal school choice via ESAs
- Reduce restrictions on charter schools
- Facilitate Intra/Interdistrict Public School Choice
