The People’s Hearing: Funding the Public Schools Every Child Deserves

Join us for a timely briefing from the NC Budget & Tax Center on the current tax policy threats to public K-12 funding  — including scheduled state income tax cuts and proposed property tax limits — followed by testimonies from people across the state who are living with the consequences of persistent underfunding.

This People’s Hearing will bring together voices from classrooms, communities and families to lift up what people want for public schools and how tax policy can help make those priorities possible.

You’ll learn how tax policy choices are shaping the well-being of children, school staff, educators and the future of our state. You’ll also hear what’s at stake if the NC General Assembly fails to listen to the priorities of people across North Carolina.

You’ll leave with fresh perspective, new connections, and concrete ways to engage in the state budget and tax policy decisions that shape public education in North Carolina.
