North Carolina PTA
Whereas, at least 11 states in the 2026 midterm elections are considering tax ballot measures
including long-standing constitutional amendments that limit income and property tax revenues used to fund public education and other essential community services; and
Whereas, these limits can significantly restrict state governments’ ability and fiscal responsibility to fund the majority of basic education costs, including teacher salaries and instructional materials; and
Whereas, fluctuating investments in public education by state governments can severely limit resources for public schools and communities, and can lead to a significant decline in positive educational and quality of life outcomes for our children and communities.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, that NCPTA opposes state tax ballot measures including constitutional amendments that restrict public tax revenues needed to fund public schools and community services; and be it further
Resolved, that the NCPTA will educate PTA members and communities about the potential impacts of tax measures that threaten adequate and sustainable education funding.
