North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has declared a state of emergency for public education in the state, citing Republican legislation that would expand school vouchers and the ongoing issue of teacher vacancies.

The governor will travel across the state to raise awareness about the dangers of the bills in the NC General Assembly in hopes of protecting public education in the state.
