A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT to amend a budget provision on teachers in geographically isolated k‑12 schools to remove a limitation.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  Section 7.26 of S.L. 2009‑451 reads as rewritten:

"SECTION 7.26. The State Board of Education shall modify its policy on the allotment of additional classroom teachers to schools containing grades K‑12 when consolidation is not feasible due to the geographic isolation of the school. In administering this policy with regard to a school located in a local school administrative unit in which the average daily membership is less than 1.5 per square mile, policy, the State Board of Education shall, at a minimum:

(1)        Allot teachers to the geographically isolated school on the basis of one classroom teacher per grade level; and

(2)        Allot teachers to the remainder of the local school administrative unit under the regular teacher allotment formula.

The State Board of Education may allot additional teachers to the local school administrative unit if demographic conditions warrant."

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
