How Democratic control of NC House could change private school voucher program

North Carolina’s private school voucher program could undergo changes now that Democrats, who have long criticized the program, will be in partial control of the legislature. Last week’s election has given Democrats control of the state House and — if current results hold — left Republicans with only a one-seat majority in the state Senate. Ideas for potential changes being floated include a moratorium against issuing new Opportunity Scholarships, increasing reporting requirements for private schools, and reinstating income limits for voucher recipients. “With the election of so many strong public school supporters to the legislature, Public Schools First NC hopes to see an end to private school vouchers,” Heather Koons, a spokesperson for the advocacy group, said in a statement. “We encourage lawmakers to impose a moratorium as Governor Stein requested in his budget proposal last year and as the N.C. Department of Public Instruction proposed in last week’s legislative priorities presentation.” The families of the more than 100,000 voucher students are wary of the potential changes that could happen next year and beyond. “I would just urge the leaders to continue the current program because it is a program that’s working well for so many families across the state,”

Here are NC State's plans to increase tuition - for the second straight year

For the second year in a row, NC State is planning to ask the UNC System to increase in-state and out-of-state undergraduate tuition by 3% for the 2027-28 school year. That would bring in-state undergraduate tuition to $6,933, and out-of-state undergraduate tuition to $33,418. If the proposal gets final approval, it would mark the second straight year of 3% tuition increases for NC State’s incoming students. In-state undergrads already enrolled keep their current rate. Chancellor Kevin Howell said this will generate $4.5 million in extra cash for the university. The school plans to use most of that to “improve the quality and accessibility of the NC State educational experience.” But it is saving $1.4 million of the pot to fund promotional salary increases for faculty. NC State won’t raise tuition across the board for graduate students — but certain graduate programs will likely get more expensive. The board is asking to increase tuition for the school’s masters-level physiology program by $1,000, and tuition for its graduate programs in biomanufacturing by $2,000. The school also wants to increase its student media fee, its fee that funds repairs and renovations for its student center, and its housing and dining fees. The UNC

Westover football's 'Fantastic Four' freshmen shape playoff future

Success on the gridiron has found its way to Bonanza Drive, and inside the Westover football locker room. Amid a 7-4 record marked by an undefeated home stretch that rounded out its final home game last Friday against No. 19 West Johnston in the NCHSAA 6A East playoffs, four freshmen have consistently made their presence felt on Friday nights: Zion Williams, Jrue Glenn, Montana Boney, and Jarrod Smith, known as the "Fantastic Four" in the Westover program. Westover head coach Justin Sherrod spoke about the quartet and how much they mean to the program, with their immediate impact on their winning season, which has landed them in the second round of the NCHSAA 6A East playoffs. For Sherrod, their emergence is the result of a plan that began before they ever stepped onto a high school football field. "I've seen the potential in those guys in eighth grade," Sherrod said. "Most importantly, I wanted to make sure that they knew who I was, what this program is going to be, and that these guys are going to be the future of the program for the next three years." Here's what each of the "Fantastic Four" freshmen bring to the Wolverines,
