Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) last week announced interim committee appointments for the 2025-26 legislative session.

In his announcement, Senator Berger said:

As we prepare for next year’s legislative session, these committees will get to work examining the most pressing issues facing our state. I look forward to seeing what proposals the committees pursue and working with the members to usher their priorities over the finish line.

Here are the lawmakers assigned to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee, according to Senator Berger’s announcement:

Brad Overcash (co-chair), Kevin Corbin (vice chair), Lisa S. Barnes, Danny Earl Britt, Jr., Michael Garrett, Dana Jones, Michael V. Lee, Tom McInnis, Benton G. Sawrey, Gladys A. Robinson, Joyce Waddell

Meanwhile, the Coalition team is already looking ahead to the next legislative session. Last week our full team assembled in Raleigh to discuss recent legislative gains as well as our upcoming legislative agenda.
