Statewide school system marks shift to state funding
The general assembly enables a state funded six month term with a base $17 million fund, adopting minimum standards while allowing local units to exceed them. The plan preserves local self rule, but the State Board of Equalization will cap and allocate funds, drawing criticism over reduced local autonomy and inadequate per school costs. High Point gains state and city budget flexibility to sustain nine month term and enriched curriculum without adverse effects.
