North Carolina lawmakers returned to Raleigh after a week-long break from voting sessions. As lawmakers continued budget negotiations, various committees met to approve bills impacting education.
On Wednesday (May 20) the NC House overrode Gov. Josh Stein’s veto of H87: Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) that permits North Carolina to participate in a federal school-choice tax credit program passed under the Trump administration’s 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

On Tuesday, the House Education K-12 Committee advanced four bills impacting local public schools – H144 Elect SBE/Superintendent as Board Chair, H451 Diabetes Education for Parents, H1110 Early Intervention Attendance Pilot, and H1143 Principal Fellows and MSA Intern Stipends.
