| Governor Beverly Perdue's State of the State Address
PROPOSALS
Graduation Rate, College/Career Ready
- Acknowledge that while the high school graduation rate has increased to 74 percent, that is not good enough to reach NC's goal for every child to graduate high school ready for a career, college or technical training.
Teaching Quality
- Demand that all teachers and administrators meet our standards of excellence or we will replace them.
Two-Year College Degree
- Rebranding a College Promise and North Carolina's Career and College Promise. By consolidating existing programs and nurturing partnerships between high schools and our community college system, career training and a college degree will be more affordable to our students. Any high school junior who signs up at school for the Career and College Promise--who meets criteria while maintaining high academic standards will be eligible to earn a two-year college degree at no cost.
State Budget, Teaching Positions
- Fund every current state-supported teacher and teaching assistant position.
- Will not eliminate teachers to find budget savings.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
College/Career Ready
- Launched the Career and College Ready Set Go! initiative challenging educators at all levels to focus on one single goal: to prepare all students to graduate ready for a career, college or technical training.
Federal Aid
- Won federal Race to the Top funds.
Virtual Schools, Educator Accountability
- Providing a 21st century education imbedded with technology (46,000 high school students are taking courses from the NC Virtual Public School), more career and academic choices for students of all ages and a new level of accountability for teachers and administrators.
