We're excited to introduce the newest member of the CREED team, Kim Degraffenried! Kim is joining us as the Program Coordinator with over 10 years of experience in disability services, school counseling, and program coordination.

Welcome to the team, Kim! 👏🏾

The North Carolina House of Representatives voted yesterday to override the veto of a bill that would increase funding for the private school voucher program by $463.5 million. Here's a reminder that the majority of NC voters OPPOSE increased funding for opportunity scholarships!

As public schools continue to shape the leaders of tomorrow, it’s our responsibility to ensure every child has access to the resources they need to explore, connect, and challenge the world around them. A healthy democracy depends on it. Thank you Jerry Wilson CREED (Center for Racial Equity in Education) HEAL Together
