Bill contains critical enrollment growth funding for public schools
Raleigh, NC – The North Carolina Coalition for Charter Schools today thanked lawmakers for overriding the governor’s veto and enacting House Bill 10 into law.
The measure includes critical enrollment growth funding for all public schools, including public charter schools. Without the funds in House Bill 10, growing public schools would have had to continue educating new students with a fraction of the funding they expected. Some public charter schools, especially newer schools that enrolled more students this year, would have had to take out loans to meet payroll without the additional funds.
Lindalyn Kakadelis, executive director of the Coalition, said, “Thank you to state lawmakers for solving the enrollment growth funding challenge facing public charter schools this year. Our member schools have been anxiously awaiting resolution to this issue, and lawmakers delivered.”
