Some former Charlotte area coaches mentioned here. Not hard to see why so many good coaches leave.

I'm wondering if part of that isn't teacher pay.Where is the money coming from? NC is a much more prosperous state than SC. Can a tax raise or reallocation of funds be justified when teachers are still complaining about pay as well?
That's a good question. One that I would love to know the answer to.I'm wondering if part of that isn't teacher pay.
NC doesn't put as much money into athletics as other states...we are behind the curve on this oneWhere is the money coming from? NC is a much more prosperous state than SC. Can a tax raise or reallocation of funds be justified when teachers are still complaining about pay as well?
That didn’t answer my question. Where is the money going to come from? Are NC taxpayers willing to foot the bill for higher coaching pay and other athletic amenities?NC doesn't put as much money into athletics as other states...we are behind the curve on this one
Sounds similar to the state of Texas.A principal at a small (2A at the time) SC powerhouse was asked in a private conversation basically how SC does it. The reply, "we do not things like education and educators get in the way." He went on to say that a Friday night there is football and the majority of the citizens come out to the game or listen on the radio. It is a economic and social force.
It's only doomed if the voters allow it to be doomed. I'll leave it at that.Public education is doomed - regardless of the politics that dominate the drive behind it. It has become an unsustainable entity and will only get worse during the dwindling years of its death spiral. What is concerning, interesting, troubling, or whatever (depending upon one’s opinion/perception and/or focal beliefs), is what will become of scholastic-level athletics? Will USA and/or AAU be able to step up (in?) and provide the affiliation and oversight necessary for some semblance of competition to survive - if not thrive - in the wake of the “educational entities” pending abandonment? Will either (or any other) organization be able to do so via implementation of consistency and maintenance of integrity? Hate to be (sound) cynical, but … it is coming.
Amen, brother.It's only doomed if the voters allow it to be doomed. I'll leave it at that.
What do they care about then? It doesn't seem like the music or arts scene either..Guys they pay teachers more in SC than NC. NC is just cheap and I have to say does not care about Public education or Sports
They care about making all public education for profit. They believe that anybody making money from it will always do it better.What do they care about then? It doesn't seem like the music or arts scene either..
if that happens it will backfire in so many ways all over the place. unfortunately there aren't enough genuinely good people in our society, and there will be greed for money and profit if allowed to go unchecked under the guise of greater opportunity. think about it, educators are already very underpaid, and then if you put them in a situation where there is a possibility to siphon more money, its not going to end well.They care about making all public education for profit.

If our legislature has its way, for profit charters are the future of public education in North Carolina.if that happens it will backfire in so many ways all over the place. unfortunately there aren't enough genuinely good people in our society, and there will be greed for money and profit if allowed to go unchecked under the guise of greater opportunity. think about it, educators are already very underpaid, and then if you put them in a situation where there is a possibility to siphon more money, its not going to end well.
