The opening days of the new school year in North Carolina have generated multiple media appearances for John Locke Foundation Director of Research and Education Studies Terry Stoops. Stoops discussed new statewide test results and the second round of A-F grades for public schools during appearances on Time Warner Cable News’ statewide “Capital Tonight” program and the Freedom Action Network’s “What Matters with Chad Adams” radio program. Stoops joins WPTF’s Bill LuMaye later this morning to discuss test scores, school choice funding, and popular left-of-center myths about the new school year.

Director of Fiscal Policy Studies Sarah Curry discussed a proposed state Taxpayer Protection Act with WFAE Radio. Vice President for Communications and Marketing Donna Martinez and Carolina Journal Managing Editor Rick Henderson discuss the week’s top political news on Curtis Media Group’s syndicated “People In Politics” program.

Vice President for Outreach Becki Gray recaps some of the week’s top political news this evening on “Capital Tonight.” Gray offered legislative updates this week for radio audiences on WTIB, WWNC, and WTSB. Gray hit the road for a speech to the Cabarrus County Republican Men’s Club. Gray and Stoops both offered featured presentations to the N.C. Federation of Republican Women.
