Gov. Beverly Perdue’s signing of a bill eliminating the public charter school cap has allowed for an opportunity to create more quality schools to address the state’s achievement gap for low income and mostly minority students.

PEFNC is co-sponsoring a town hall forum in Wilmington tonight that will address education issues and happenings in New Hanover County and across the state.

"What should education reform look like in New Hanover County" will take place at the Community Boys and Girls Club of Wilmington, 901 Nixon St., from 6:30-8 p.m. This discussion will examine how education reform can improve classroom learning in New Hanover and address various education options, including public charter schools, nonpublic schools and homeschooling.

Potential school closures in Wilmington and proposed legislation in Raleigh have left families in southeastern North Carolina with more questions than answers regarding the future of their child’s education.

Here at Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina (PEFNC), our mission is to inform parents and citizens of the benefits of expanded educational options, and we seek to empower parents to exercise the freedom to meet their children’s needs. In short, PEFNC seeks to find real solutions to how we can effectively better our educational system for all children in North Carolina.
