(The Center Square) – Public school K-12 spending in North Carolina’s proposed state budget has the largest share of the $34.4 billion spending plan. Lawmakers began voting on the bill Wednesday and finished Thursday, sending it forward to first-term Democratic Gov. Josh Stein. He’ll have 10 days for a decision to reject, sign or allow it to become law without his signature. The 2025 Appropriations Act, known also as Senate Bill 257, has average raises of 8% for teachers. Those with 16 or more years of experience will get bonuses of $1,000, those with less get $500. The state is home to 90,000 educators and about 1.5 million schoolchildren in its 11.2 million population. In passage of the last two-year budget in 2023, the state became the 10th to implement universal school choice. A year later in November 2024, the Legislature appropriated $463 million to the Opportunity Scholarship program to wipe out a waiting list of about 55,000. Budget writers have appropriated $12.5 billion to the Department of Public Instruction, and $35.8 million to the deaf and blind residential schools. Coupled with $5.03 billion to the University of North Carolina System, and $1.86 billion to the North Carolina Community College System, education – both K-12 and higher ed – have $19.43 billion (56.1%) from General Fund appropriations. In K-12 spending, the plan addresses math education; literacy for fourth- and fifth-graders; incentivizes participation in federal school meals programming; and promotion of the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline phone number. The budget will eliminate national advocacy groups' ability to challenge books and classroom materials, instead limiting challenges to parents, guardians of students, teachers, and people who live within a school’s attendance district. Teacher licensure, through the budget, would become more user friendly for teachers trying to move into the state to teach. Those with three years experience and in good standing could obtain full, renewable licenses. The new language replaces a need for identical licensing practices. Artificial intelligence is also addressed, with the Department of Public Instruction tasked with adopting standards and model policy for the 115 school boards across the state.

Dear Friend of Press Freedom:Journalist Katie Phang recently won a major victory in her lawsuit seeking to force the government to follow the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Her message to other independent journalists who want to fight government secrecy? “Our case is proof that you can do this.” Read on for more on how you can help defend press freedom this week. A journalist’s fight for Epstein transparencyWhen Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act with broad bipartisan support, the Justice Department was given until Dec. 19, 2025, to release all unclassified files related to the Epstein investigation.The department blew the deadline, but trial lawyer, independent journalist, and former MSNBC host Katie Phang sued to force compliance. Last week, she won a decision that directed the government to start producing documents it kept hidden, or explain why it cannot.We hosted an online panel about the implications of the case with Phang; her lawyer, Brendan Ballou of the Public Integrity Project; and Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) Daniel Ellsberg Chair on Government Secrecy Lauren Harper, moderated by FPF Senior Advocacy Adviser Caitlin Vogus. Watch the Epstein discussion New Jersey prosecutors: Drop charges against journalists who covered Delaney HallProsecutors are holding criminal charges over the heads of at least three journalists who were wrongfully arrested while covering immigration protests at Delaney Hall in New Jersey, despite clearly identifying themselves as press and despite public officials acknowledging that journalists would be exempt from Newark’s curfew.Journalists need to be able to report the news without fear of arrest. The pending charges against press who were working in Newark chill their ongoing work and the media as a whole, which in turn does continued damage to public safety. You can use our action center to tell prosecutors it’s past time to drop these baseless cases. Write a letter to New Jersey prosecutors Age verification law puts journalists at riskThe Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act passed the House this week. If it — or similar legislation — becomes law, it would fundamentally change the way everyone, not just kids, accesses the internet.That’s because these laws strongly incentivize — and, for some services, outright require — age verification. That’s a big problem for people who need to be able to use the internet anonymously, like journalists and their sources.Vogus, along with Aliya Bhatia of the Center for Democracy & Technology, explained in The Intercept how requiring online age verification would make it harder for anonymous sources to connect with journalists through online platforms. Read it, and then use our action center to tell Congress today not to pass online censorship bills in the guise of kids safety. Read Vogus and Bhatia’s article Brendan Carr isn’t fooling anyoneFederal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr has a new excuse to harass news outlets: Requiring talk shows to reapply for permission to interview whatever politicians they want. Carr — known for embracing President Donald Trump’s agenda — claims that ABC’s “The View” needs to explain why it qualifies for a “bonafide news” exception to equal time requirements. Other talk shows, like conservative talk radio, have not drawn similar ire.As we wrote in a public comment to the agency, “No matter what pretexts the FCC cites, anyone with a smidgen of common sense knows exactly what is going on: an FCC led by a man who has publicly disclaimed independence from Trump is using its authority both frivolously and selectively to do Trump’s bidding.” We encourage you to file your own comment before July 6. Our action center makes it easy for you. Read our FCC comment Government wants your location data? Get a warrant, Supreme Court saysThe Supreme Court just delivered its most important Fourth Amendment decision in years — and it’s a win for your privacy. In Chatrie v. United States, the court ruled that the Fourth Amendment requires the government to get a warrant for “geofence” demands that track location data.We’ve written before about how geofences — which allow police to draw a virtual boundary around a crime scene and compel tech companies to turn over location data for devices in the area — could be used as a tool of mass surveillance or to monitor journalists and their sources.The court’s decision puts an important check on this power. FPF Executive Director Trevor Timm broke down the ruling, explaining, “There’s no doubt that we all have more privacy rights with our cellphones today than we did yesterday.” Watch Timm’s video about the ruling What we're reading Supreme Court halts order to force reporter to reveal source or pay fine The Washington Post “The Supreme Court should use this opportunity to make clear that plaintiffs and prosecutors cannot commandeer the Fourth Estate to help them build their cases,” said FPF Chief of Advocacy Seth Stern about journalist Catherine Herridge’s case.

(The Center Square) – The Caddo-Shreveport Crime Stoppers says years of criminal justice reforms and expanded diversion programs have cut its court fee revenue by more than half, leaving the nonprofit increasingly dependent on donations to stay open. The nonprofit unsuccessfully asked lawmakers this year to restore some of its lost funding, Executive Director Terry McNaight said. Their effort to restore the local organization’s previous funding support was not acted on, according to the director. The nonprofit is funded through a court fee assessed on defendants convicted of criminal or traffic offenses. Crime Stoppers’ portion is $2 per case, which is in addition to all other fines, penalties and costs imposed by the court, the 1991 legislation said. However, criminal justice reform enacted in 2017 gave courts discretion to determine if a defendant can afford their fines and fees, and if not, the authority to waive all or part of their fee obligations or create a payment plan based on the defendant's ability to pay, according to a legislative document. “With this mandate, plus court divergence and decriminalization, Shreveport Crime Stoppers’ funding has been cut by more than 50%,” McNaight wrote in a letter to lawmakers. A review of Crime Stopper audits shows both city and district court fees collected for the organization dropped by 54% over the last decade. For example, around $33,600 was collected from city court in 2015, which dipped to $15,320 in 2024. McNaight fills the funding shortfall with private donations. “Our $2 has never been increased from inception so that's a struggle we have,” McNaight said. “We have good contact with all of our agencies, so we don't really have a problem there, but the struggle is just knocking on doors and trying to secure funding every year – because nothing's guaranteed.” Just over 77% of the nonprofit’s budget was funded by contributions, grants or fundraising, according to the audit. Without them, McNaight said, “We would have to shut the doors. We couldn't operate because we couldn't afford to pay anyone.” In the last 12 months, Crime Stoppers provided law enforcement agencies with 1,614 anonymous tips or leads. The majority of those fall within four categories: narcotics, violent crime, robbery and homicide. As of May 31, the nonprofit has paid nearly $50,000 to tipsters for information leading to arrests or indictments in multiple cases. McNaight discussed last year’s arrest of Kendrick Jones, accused of repeatedly hitting a woman in the face using brass knuckles, to highlight the nonprofit’s impact. Crime Stoppers tips helped law enforcement locate Jones in Long Beach, Calif. He faces two counts of domestic abuse battery with child endangerment and one count of battery of a dating partner with a dangerous weapon, according to a Caddo Correction Center document. “It was so egregious – assaulting somebody in the face with brass knuckles – that we decided to put a $5,000 tip on it,” he said. “One of the tips told us that he was in the Los Angeles area, so we worked with Crime Stoppers of LA to get that information out there. “I didn't transfer it to them because I wanted to keep tabs on it. One person actually gave us his location at an apartment complex, so we were able to get that warrant transferred out to the Long Beach police, who arrested him and then extradited him back here, and that's where he sits right now on a million dollar bond.” McNaight is interested in conducting more community outreach at local high schools and creating more proactive programs but his budget is far too limited. At one time, the agency’s anonymous tip fund hit a low of $900, he said. “It’s frustrating since we were created by the Legislature to serve an important function, only to have the Legislature derail our funding,” he wrote in his letter to lawmakers earlier this year.

Russia has prepared a new edition of its official history textbook for 11th graders.
