Maurice “Mo” Green

State Superintendent Maurice "Mo" Green has presented his final strategic plan. Green says he wants NC public schools to become the best in the nation, and the plan defines metrics.

The remaining $130 million to North Carolina includes funds for English language learners, teacher training, and migrant students. This comes after the U.S. Department of Education froze $6.8 billion to schools nationwide, and 24 states including NC sued.

North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson and State Superintendent Mo Green held a joint press conference Monday to announce the lawsuit.

State education officials received a memo that certain federal funds schools receive each July are frozen. See how much funding is affected at each NC district or charter school.

At the time, PowerSchool assured educators that all the affected data had been destroyed.

The latest federal education cuts affect school building repairs in Halifax, Lenoir, Richmond, and Robeson Counties. New threats are coming to Title 1 schools across NC.
