Grassroots Action for Public Education; Reclaiming Our Legacy

 

North Carolina has deep roots in public education, from chartering the nation’s first state university to building a PreK–12 system that was a model for the South at the end of the 20th century.

 

For generations, we led the way with investments in teacher preparation and pay, early childhood education, and access to opportunity for all students.

​

That legacy is in jeopardy.

​

NC Educators on the Ballot is a grassroots campaign to reignite a vision of strong public education in our great state and ​bring public schools back to priority status in both parties. 

 

Toward that goal, we are working to identify 101 teachers, public school employees and retirees across the state by the end of August 2025, ensuring they are eligible to file in December to run in the Republican primaries.

​

Whether you want to run yourself or help identify candidates and spread the word, if you believe in strong public schools and fair pay for educators, there’s a role for you in this movement.  

​

We need to work fast.  The first steps cost nothing, but have to be completed before the end of August. ​​
