Hoke County is the lowest of all North Carolina counties in the amount it invests per student, and the commissioners shaved another $500,000 from that budget this fiscal year.
Fair Warning: One Hoke County Commissioner has stated the Commission will make a presentation of the "real facts" as they see them on education spending during the Sept. 3 meeting. He claims the figures cited above—from independent sources with links to verify—are wrong when capital improvements (buildings, concrete, etc.) are added and moves Hoke proudly up a notch or two from its "dead last but finished" investment in schools. We've yet to get a response when asked whether the bricks and lumber being used are certified teachers.
