The Equivalent Of Over 27K Entry Level Teaching Positions In NC On The Chopping Block?

The Education Law Center has put up a site that allows anyone to see the total effect of shutting off federal funds to public schools under the Trump administration if he does go “all out” on a promise to abolish the Department of Education.

He has also threatened to decline federal funding based on a loose interpretation of DEI and with the moving goalposts that act as boundaries for a definition, any program that does not meet an ever-changing qualification of the president’s choosing can be axed.

For North Carolina, that could mean over one billion dollars.

That last row shows the equivalent number of entry level teachers that could be lost if the cuts are used.

And that’s not even counting the grants that have already been cancelled in NC.
