Governor Cooper Signs HB 13, Calls on Legislature to Invest in Education

Today, Governor Cooper signed HB 13 in order to keep educators in classrooms and prevent budget crises in schools across North Carolina. The governor offered the following statement:

"While this legislation addresses immediate concerns, the failure of legislative Republicans to properly fund our schools has risked the jobs of educators and jeopardized our children’s future. It’s imperative that we quit kicking the can down the road. Instead of continuing to offer tax giveaways to millionaires and giant corporations, I urge legislators to work with me to invest in our schools and make North Carolina a top-ten educated state."
