Barry Smith - In the Loop

Legislative Republican leaders are calling for an “aggressive education agenda” during the 2009 session of the General Assembly.

Specifically, they’re proposing that the state:

– Require the use of tational testing to provide consistency in measuring academic progress.

– Reward the state’s best teachers with merit and differential pay rather than the current pay system based on longevity and credentials.

– Enhance career, technical and vocation programs in high schools.

– Eliminate the cap on charter schools in North Carolina.
