The political battle heats up as public education faces steep budget cuts. The most noticeable cuts are the K-12 group which face $106 million less than anticipated. The Republican supported bill is aimed at spending less on education in upcoming years because of a estimated $2billion state budget cut. Many stats and research have been made public, yet numbers reflect political positions of the bill’s impact. Protests are growing throughout the state of North Carolina. FayToday has listed some sources below with statistics of public education that involve these budget cuts.

People are going to start looking for other options in regards of education. That is where the private school/collages may want to increase their monthly installment.

MORE AT FOUR

“The bill, which will be voted on by the full House of Representatives next week, would cut Pre-K funding (“More at Four”) by 20 percent – a much bigger cut than the 9.6 percent cut to K-12 education or the 14 percent cut to higher education.” ~The Progressive Pulse Online

SMART START FUNDING 20% CUT

WRAL–Raleigh: “…the budget would reduce by 20 percent, or $16 million, funding for the More at Four prekindergarten program and transfer control of the program from the Department of Public Instruction to the Department of Health and Human Services. It would reduce Smart Start funding by 20 percent, or $37.6 million.”
