The wrangling over North Carolina and pre-kindergarten classes continues.

Bill Harrison, chairman of the State Board of Education, has weighed in with a blog post that takes aim at Republican efforts to privatize the state's pre-kindergarten program and narrow the population that qualifies for pre-k services.

On Thursday, the House Select Committee on Early Childhood Education will meet to finalize recommendations about pre-K in the state.

A draft piece of legislation by the committee spells out that pre-k would be offered only in private child centers, Harrison writes, which is "clearly not in the best interest of the students and families the program was designed to serve."

Funneling taxpayer dollars to for-profit day care centers would reduce the number of licensed pre-k teachers "to unacceptably low levels," Harrison writes. Public school pre-k teachers are fully licensed, he said, compared to 30 percent of those in private centers.

GOP field keeps growing

The Republican primary field for governor continues to become more crowded.

Jim Mahan, 73, who owns the American Group real estate company in Denver, about 180 miles west of Raleigh in Lincoln County, said Monday that he planned to file for the Republican nomination.

Mahan said he would campaign on the platform of returning prayer to public schools, restoring full employment, promoting the housing/real estate industry, run a health campaign to encourage people to lose weight, and increase teacher pay to make the state the national leader.

Mahan said he planned to run a positive campaign. He is a former class president at East Carolina University and a former college and tennis player at Lees McRae College. He is also a former school teacher.
