Bill > H800

This bill requires local school administrative units and charter schools in North Carolina to allow students who attend nonpublic schools to enroll part-time in order to access any courses, programs, or services offered by the public school. The bill outlines funding provisions, with the State Board of Education allocating full or partial per-pupil funding to the enrolling public school depending on the amount of instructional time the part-time student is scheduled for. The bill also directs local boards of education and charter schools to develop and publish policies for part-time enrollment. The bill appropriates $500,000 in non-recurring funds for the 2023-2024 fiscal year to cover administrative costs, and $270 million in recurring funds for the 2024-2025 fiscal year to fund part-time students.
