Legislative Bulletin: Public Education

Lindsay Barth, Event Coordinator & PHW Communications Associate · February 17, 2020

Public Education has always been a key topic in scripture. In Proverbs 22:6, Romans 12:6-7, Micah 6:8, and Hosea 4:6, God talks of the importance of teaching and the gift that is knowledge. The Council is committed to advocating for the creation of equitable school systems in North Carolina. As people of faith, we must keep our elected officials accountable to put children first. Download our legislative bulletin for more scripture, key facts, talking points, and action items.
