This week's special guest is the Republican Candidate for the North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mrs. Catherine Truitt. She has worked in many aspects of public education over the years ranging from K-12 to being appointed by Governor McCrory to serve as his Senior Advisor on Education to the University level with WGU NC (Western Governors University North Carolina). Catherine's focus is on ensuring that all NC students have the opportunity to receive a quality education and that students graduate high school and college with the skills they need to succeed in today's world. We hope this conversation gives you new insight to her campaign and what she stands for. We certainly learned a great deal in a short period of time.
Topics:
- Tell us about your current role and how that prepares you for Superintendent of Public Instruction, as well as the primary responsibilities of the position.
- Public school funding in NC has been an issue for many years. What part would you play in working on the budget and how do you foresee education changing in NC as the budget changes?
- Teachers are underpaid. How do you propose a fix to this ongoing problem? Do you think if teachers were paid more, education would improve?
- Technology related to Covid. What can be improved? What is the long term plan for getting back into the schools?
