Bill Summary

AN ACT TO CHANGE THE ALLOTMENT AMOUNTS FOR AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO THE SMALL COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM SUPPLEMENTAL ALLOTMENT.

AI Summary

This bill increases funding for small county school systems by modifying the existing supplemental allotment schedule in North Carolina's General Statutes. Specifically, the bill raises the dollar allotments for school administrative units based on their allotted Average Daily Membership (ADM), with increases ranging from approximately $700,000 to $730,000 across different enrollment size categories. For example, a school system with 0-1,300 students would see its allotment rise from $1,820,000 to $2,548,000, and similar proportional increases are applied to other enrollment brackets. To support these increased allotments, the bill appropriates $20,961,180 in recurring funds from the General Fund to the Department of Public Instruction for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The purpose appears to be providing additional financial support to smaller school districts that may have limited resources. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that schools can plan for these increased allocations in their upcoming budget cycles.
