Budget Press Conference - Monday, May 15, 2023 at 3:00 PM
North State Journal A.P. Dillon | May 11, 2023: NC superintendent pushes back on proposed Biden Title IX change - In a May 1 letter to U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, Truitt asked the administration to “maintain the intent of Title IX as it pertains to safety and fairness in women’s sports.” “I am writing to request that your Department of Education maintain the intent of Title IX as it pertains to safety and fairness in women’s sports,” wrote Truitt. “Under no circumstance can we assume that Congress, when crafting this important law forty years ago, fathomed a biological male playing competitive sports in an all-female league or competition at any level. The current proposed rule from the Department of Education would undermine the intent of Title IX, which was to increase opportunities for female athletes.”
K-12 Dive Bob Wise and Catherine Truitt | May 10, 2023: Unlocking opportunity: Evidence-based literacy investment is the key to our children’s future - North Carolina’s ed chief and a former governor of West Virginia write that schools must embrace the science of reading to combat NAEP declines. Under Operation Polaris, the state’s plan to address pandemic learning loss, North Carolina is now working to educate all elementary school educators in the science of reading by 2025 and implement a robust package of other evidence-based, literacy-focused initiatives.
