On Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Jackson visited the Dream Center Academy in Gastonia to engage with local educators and discuss pressing issues surrounding education funding. During his tour, Jackson highlighted the challenges faced by schools due to a freeze on funding, which has significantly impacted educational resources and opportunities for students.

The visit comes in light of Jackson's plans to move forward with a lawsuit against the federal Department of Education. He expressed concerns over the implications of the funding freeze, emphasizing the need for equitable access to resources for all students. Jackson's discussions with educators at the academy focused on the importance of adequate funding to support innovative programs and maintain a high-quality education.

As the state grapples with these critical issues, Jackson's advocacy aims to bring attention to the urgent need for reform in educational funding policies to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed academically.
