FILE - N.C. Association of Educators Vice President Bryan Proffitt speaks during a news conference held by Every Child NC in Raleigh, N.C., Aug. 31, 2022.

The court now has a Republican majority that decided to take up again a portion of the case known as “Leandro.” (Ethan Hyman/The News & Observer via AP, File)
