Daycare programs and schools across the state of North Carolina don’t have the resources necessary to maintain the buildings that the children come to and some of the schools don’t have the resources to maintain some of their buildings.

North Carolina state lawmakers are pushing for more funding this next fiscal year to support Pre-K programs with hiring and keeping quality teachers in the classroom.

The 2022-23 fiscal year budget was presented to Governor Cooper on July 1. He has 10 days to sign it or veto it before it automatically becomes a law.  House Bill 103 is proposing an increase in the reimbursement rate for participating NC Pre-K programs.

Karen Jones, the Executive Director of Nana’s Place Learning Center says this will help them with the costs of classroom items, resources, and increasing salaries for their teachers.  This funding would increase the reimbursement rates by 7 percent for the 2022-23 year. Jones plans to use the funding to increase salaries and recruit more co-teachers.

What else can be done to help schools in Mecklenburg County and surrounding areas?
