Raleigh, NC – The North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) today expressed its outrage following the North Carolina Supreme Court’s continued refusal to issue a decision in the landmark Leandro school-funding case.
“Year after year, the Court has declined to act, choosing instead to ignore its responsibility in this critical matter," said Tamika Walker Kelly, NCAE President. "The Supreme Court’s ongoing inaction makes it clear that the court, like the North Carolina General Assembly, are not committed to ensuring that North Carolina’s 1.5 million public-school students receive their constitutional right to a sound, basic education.
Once again, North Carolina’s Supreme Court has failed to deliver what our children, parents, and families need. Once again, they have chosen to stand by and let our students go without. And once again—just like the General Assembly—they have failed in their duty to uphold the constitutional promise of a sound, basic education.”
