North Carolina has welcomed U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan to Durham.
This comes in the face of efforts by state officials to earn a cut of the Race to the Top plan. Gov. Bev Perdue is also pushing for a federal teacher bailout to help teachers retain their jobs in North Carolina, amongst states elsewhere.
She may be talking to the right person about this. Duncan has spoken in support of the bailout, going so far as to say that there are no other solutions. “I don’t have a Plan B,” he said. “Plan B is children around this country getting hurt.”
