North Carolina Supreme Court ruling on school fines distribution
The state may appeal a 1996 ruling directing a 926000 pollution fine to Craven County schools. The decision redefines how civil penalties from various agencies are allocated, potentially diverting about 75 million dollars to schools, with proceeds from revenue, transport, drug tax, and UNC campus tickets among sources. Local boards may gain more control over such funds.
