SAVE THE DATE!

Join us for an emergency conversation with Asheville and Buncombe families, educators, and community members on October 14th. 

Why is this an emergency?  Because North Carolina is dead last in the country for public education funding.  Because there are looming cuts coming to our beloved BCS. Because public education is on the ballot this November. Because we all need to understand what the constitutional amendments on the ballot in November could mean for our students, educators, and the future of our public schools. Because we don’t have to sit idly by and watch this happen. We have the power to celebrate and defend them at the polls.

On October 14th, during this community gathering, you'll get to know other public school parents and community members across the county, learn more about what is on the line for public school funding this year, how our county is impacted, and hear about ways to take action to keep our kids' schools strong now and in the future. 

Sponsored by Families of Asheville City Schools (FACS), North Carolina Families for Public Schools, Buncombe County Public School Strong, Asheville Association of Educators, and Buncombe County Association of Educators.
