Reporteth the local daily:
Proposed legislation in the North Carolina Senate would shift the cost of remediation classes at community colleges to the counties where the students who need them graduated from high school. . . .
[Bill sponsor David Curtis (R-Lincoln)] said taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay a second time for students “to learn what they should have learned in high school.” . . .
“The goal is to get the local real estate taxpayers engaged, and if they get concerned about their real estate taxes going up as a result of this, then they might start asking questions,” he said. “I think that would hopefully get the local residents engaged in the quality of the product that their local school system turns out.”
