Let\u2019s partner with local schools to provide educational and training programs to get students excited about the environment and STEM.<\/p>\n North Carolina is ranked\u00a022nd<\/a>\u00a0in the nation for air quality. According to the Department of Environmental Quality, the source of North Carolina\u2019s air pollution is ground level ozone, or smog, as well as particle pollution from coal-burning power plants and car emissions. North Carolina leads the nation as the\u00a0second<\/a>\u00a0highest producer of solar energy, but ranks\u00a030th<\/a>\u00a0for wind energy production.<\/p>\n North Carolina\u2019s water quality suffers from lack of regulations and aging infrastructure. A recent\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0gave North Carolina an \u201cF\u201d grade for keeping lead out of school drinking water, with no policies in place to reduce risks of lead in drinking water. When testing lead concentrations in a Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district, the study found that 41 out of 89 schools in the district had taps with unsafe levels of lead concentrations.<\/p>\n As Durham\u2019s Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor, Natalie Murdock spent every day protecting our environment. In this role, Natalie worked to ensure high quality drinking water, food production, and open spaces were available to the community. Her experience in local government and city transit make her well equipped to take on the environmental problems facing North Carolina today.<\/p>\n \u200b<\/span>We all have a right to clean air and water.

We can work to expand public-private partnerships, incentivize homeowners to stay in their homes, and provide tax credits to communities that need help with home repairs to maintain the value of their homes.

In the three categories of Chance for Success, School Finance, and K-12 Achievement, North Carolina\u00a0consistently received scores below the national average, including ranking 48th in the nation and receiving an \u201cF\u201d grade for school spending. According to the most recent data, North Carolina spent over\u00a0$3,000<\/a><\/span>\u00a0less per pupil than the national average. North Carolina currently needs an estimated\u00a0<\/span>$8 billion<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to address facility costs for their public schools. Current funding proposals\u2013a statewide $2 billion bond and a Senate-backed $2 billion school construction fund\u2013do not meet this need in full. Counties spend $3 billion on instructional expenses or\u00a0<\/span>24 percent<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of the total share of federal, state, and local dollars. Further, as of March 2018, North Carolina\u00a0had\u00a050,742<\/a><\/span>\u00a0eligible children on the waitlist for early childhood education and child care assistance vouchers.<\/p>\n Children also face challenges of racial inequity in North Carolina. According to the most recent\u00a0<\/span>data<\/a><\/span>, across the state, black students were over four times more likely to be suspended from school than white students. Studies<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>show that suspension is a key factor in the school to prison pipeline, along with school-based arrests and lack of school funding.<\/p>\n In North Carolina, the state base teaching salary is\u00a0$35,000<\/a><\/span>\u2013less than the amount needed to afford housing in Durham and Chatham counties. Including the local teaching supplement, that amount increases to $39,900<\/a><\/span>\u2013just barely enough to afford a modest two-bedroom apartment. The average base salary for teaching assistants is $23,546<\/a><\/span>, compared to\u00a0$23,262<\/a><\/span>\u00a0for custodians. Further, North Carolina school employees have to work with less staff than the national average. In North Carolina, there is one school nurse for every 750 students, meaning school nurses serve\u00a048%<\/a><\/span>\u00a0more students than the federal standard. Additionally, there is one school social worker for every 1,427 students, meaning social workers are serving over\u00a0three<\/a><\/span>\u00a0times more students than the federal standard. The state also employs one school counselor for every 350 students\u2013100<\/a><\/span>\u00a0more students than the nationally recommended 1:250 ratio.

Such a change would ensure that the planning and drawing of all legislative and congressional districts occur fairly and to ensure that each vote matters in legislative and congressional elections. The people need to pick their representatives instead of politicians choosing what people they will represent.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Establishing clear and fair rules for operation of the legislature. Such a change will ensure that the legislative branch focuses its work on improving the quality of life for all of the people in North Carolina instead of helping politicians hang onto power. After being put in place, such rules should only be changed by a two-thirds vote to ensure legislative rules always remain nonpartisan and focused on the people’s business.<\/span><\/p>\n
