Argues that the legislature intends to cut public schools by expanding private-school vouchers.

Public comment included two former educators who spoke positively about the benefits of public school and aligned that into state and local funding. Cindy Sellers argued that the state legislature has made cuts for more than 10 years in public schools and intends to make more by expanding, once again, private school vouchers. She says that public schools can offer arts, music, and so much more for students that private schools and home schools cannot. She said that Republican lawmakers in Raleigh are interested in money, power, and getting votes. Her words were echoed largely by former teacher and college administrator, Dr. Dianne Little.
