It's April 2nd. Welcome to Derm News Today, powered by AI. North Carolina Supreme Court just shut down the 32-year Leandro School funding fight, tossing out a 2022 order that would have forced the state to shift cash to public schools. In a four-to-three split, they dismissed it on a technicality, even though one Republican justice called the state's education failure shameful in. His dissent, critics are fired up, saying, this lets Republican leaders keep short-changing schools. We're 49th in per pupil spending, dead last overall, with teachers among the lowest paid anywhere. Folks like Governor Josh Stein and educators Warren Wake County alone loses nearly 300 million bucks a year, meaning over 1,000 teachers, hundreds of aides, counselors, and support for kids with disabilities, or in tough spots. Now the balls in the legislature's court, to step up with real teacher raises, more staff, breakfast programs, and proven fixes, our kids' future can't. Wait on politics.
