Future predictions

In his column “Degrees of jeopardy for public schools“, Chris Fitzsimon makes the connection between student performance and poverty, pointing out that while schools came through the budgeting processes less scathed than they might have been, poor families in North Carolina were not as fortunate.

Looking ahead to the future, the Fitzsimon File commentary “2010 session preview” gives us an idea of what we can expect from the next legislative session.
