A sweeping education proposal that would take away power from North Carolina superintendents and the State Board of Education — placing it in the hands of public school parents — is unlikely to advance this session, the House speaker said.
North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore has confirmed that his record fifth two-year term presiding over the chamber will be his last.
“I don’t know that that bill is going to move this session,” Moore said. “There needs to be a lot more discussion in our caucus, and we’ll have to see where the caucus comes down on it. Right now, I don’t know that the votes are there for it.” House Democrats had raised alarms about several provisions, including one that would allow local school boards to fire superintendents or automatically dock their pay if parents present five affidavits demonstrating that a superintendent violated their right to direct the upbringing and education of their children.
