Bill > S461

This bill modifies the University of North Carolina (UNC) Laboratory Schools program. It increases the number of UNC constituent institutions required to establish laboratory schools from 8 to at least 9, with the Board of Governors' Subcommittee on Laboratory Schools overseeing their establishment and operations. The bill also allows the Subcommittee to waive the requirement for the number of low-performing schools in a local school administrative unit for up to 3 laboratory schools if certain conditions are met. Additionally, the bill changes the governance structure of the laboratory schools, shifting more responsibility to the chancellor of the constituent institution rather than a board of trustees. The bill also makes other changes to the admission process, funding, and reporting requirements for the laboratory schools.
