NCASA 2025 Advocacy Day
With the recent major expansion of state funding for private school vouchers, it is now more important than ever for public school leaders to speak up to ask lawmakers and other state leaders to “Support Our Local Public Schools!”
To facilitate this important conversation, the North Carolina Association of School Administrators (NCASA) will host an Advocacy Day on March 26, 2025. Sign up for free and come to Raleigh to meet with your own NC House and NC Senate members to highlight the great things your school or district is doing to support students as well as the needs you have that you would like lawmakers to address during this legislative session.
Make plans now to participate and make your voice heard in seeking increased Support for Our Local Public Schools and look for additional details from NCASA closer to the event.
