An income tax cap is a bad deal for NC’s public schools. Less funding means bigger class sizes, fewer resources, and cuts to vital services. Our kids deserve better. Protect their future and VOTE NO on the income tax cap amendment! #nced #ncpublicschools #ncpubliceducation #VOTENO

Let's put charter schools into local control instead of the state. The local leaders know more than state leaders if & when another school is needed. #nced #ncpublicschools

Vote AGAINST the constitutional amendments to limit tax revenue. Corps & wealthy individuals will gain the most while the average person will LOSE money via higher sales taxes and fees. Check out who benefits in Forsyth. Who pays the price? Public schools, teachers, and more. #nced #ncpublicschools

A constitutional amendment capping income tax is a BAD DEAL for NC’s public schools. An income tax cap means LESS funding for classrooms, resources, and opportunities for every child. VOTE NO on the income tax cap amendment!

A recent WalletHub report ranked North Carolina 44th among states for teachers, considering factors like teacher pay, salary growth, school funding, class sizes, and teacher turnover. Supporting teachers means creating conditions where educators and their students can thrive.

The income tax cut and property tax levy limit constitutional amendments are designed to benefit wealthy individuals and corporations. Don't fall for the trick - VOTE AGAINST! Most people will end up paying MORE in sales tax and service fees and everyone will LOSE services. #ncpublicschools

PUBLIC schools benefit the whole community because all families are welcome. When PUBLIC schools thrive, the community thrives (higher real estate, more businesses, etc.) Private schools only serve their selected families. PUBLIC dollars belong in PUBLIC schools! #nced #ncpublicschools

Lowering the state income tax cap isn’t just about numbers, it’s about our kids’ futures. Less revenue means less funding for early learning and childcare, leaving families and children without the support they need. Stand up for NC’s children and VOTE NO!
