As the 2022 Short Session wraps up, the Coalition is working to recognize our “Charter Champions” in the North Carolina General Assembly. Republicans and Democrats alike, these lawmakers have supported the success and sustainability of North Carolina’s charter school movement throughout 2021-22. As a result, we are honoring their commitment to charter schools and school choice.
