Every Child x The Leandro Plan
The Leandro Plan is a comprehensive education policy roadmap designed to ensure all children in North Carolina have access to a sound basic education by 2028. The courts mandated it as part of the Leandro v. State case, which found that the state was failing to meet students' constitutional rights. The plan addresses critical needs such as equitable funding, providing qualified teachers and principals, improving early education programs, reducing reliance on standardized tests, and strengthening pathways from high school to college or career.

Candidate Checklist
"How to Spot a Candidate That Supports Public Education for Every Child" provides guidelines for evaluating candidates running for office. It outlines key areas to consider, such as:
-
Knowledge of Office: Ensure candidates understand their role in educational decision-making.
-
Public Service Record: Check candidates' voting history on education issues.
-
Knowledge of Equity: Evaluate their stance on compliance with the Leandro ruling and school funding disparities.
-
Rhetoric: Be wary of terms like "choice," which can disguise policies that promote inequity.
Candidates are encouraged to commit to the Leandro ruling and support fair education policies.
These pivotal North Carolina court cases reflect the state's ongoing struggle to balance equitable access to education, school funding, and public accountability. From challenges to the Opportunity Scholarship Program and disparities in funding for predominantly Black school districts (Hart v. State and Silver v. Halifax County), to debates over the role of the State Board of Education (N.C. State Bd. of Educ. v. State), these rulings underscore how critical judicial decisions shape the future of education for all NC students.
Each case highlights the importance of judicial appointments, making it essential to stay informed and engaged in judicial elections to ensure equitable access to quality education across North Carolina.
