State says schools cannot enter money making ventures
The North Carolina Attorney General ruled that public schools, as state creatures, cannot engage in business competition with the private sector. This limits school stores, concessions at games, PTA fundraisers, and any event aimed at raising money. The ruling could affect college fundraisers, university ships, and other state supported ventures, potentially curbing admission charges and sales tied to school activities.
