School Funding
• Constitutional Provisions
§ The General Assembly shall provide by taxation and otherwise for a general and uniform system of free public schools, which shall be maintained at least nine months in every year, and wherein equal opportunities shall be provided for all students. N.C. Const. art. IX § 2(1)
§ Local responsibility. The General Assembly may assign to units of local government such responsibility for the financial support of the free public schools as it may deem appropriate. The governing boards of units of local government with financial responsibility
for public education may use local revenues to add to or supplement any public school or post-secondary school program. N.C. Const. art. IX § 2(2)

Ø 1994: Parents, students, and school districts from five counties
filed a lawsuit against the state Ø Complaint: Students are denied their constitutional right to equal
education due to a lack of school funding
Ø 1997: N.C. Supreme Court issues decision:Ø The state constitution provides the opportunity to receive a sound basic education in our
public schools. Ø However, school districts or counties do not have a constitutional right to equal fundingØ Court defined a “sound basic education” as:
• (1) sufficient ability to read, write, and speak the English language and a sufficient knowledge of fundamental mathematics and physical science to enable the student to function in a complex and rapidly changing society;
• (2) sufficient fundamental knowledge of geography, history, and basic economic and political systems to enable the student to make informed choices with regard to issues that affect the student personally or affect the student's community, state, and nation;
• (3) sufficient academic and vocational skills to enable the student to successfully engage in post-secondary education or vocational training; and
• (4) sufficient academic and vocational skills to enable the student to compete on an equal basis with others in further formal education or gainful employment in contemporary society

“Current expense has been largely a state responsibility….
Capital outlay has been largely a county responsibility….”
“One thing is crystal clear: school construction needs impose a
tremendous burden on all counties.”
“In our opinion, current expense funds provided by the state are inadequate in several respects.”

§ Originally, counties received 40% of the lottery proceeds, which were dedicated to education for their school construction needs.
§ The legislature now provides a “lump sum” appropriation of $100 million statewide, a percentage equal to roughly 15% of the lottery proceeds dedicated to education (less than ½ of what would have been distributed).
§ 75% of the lottery funds allocated to counties between 2011 and 2015 were spent on debt service rather than new construction.

2015-2016 Public School Facility Needs Survey
§ Survey tracks LEA-reported school facility needs for next five years
§ LEAs report significant needs in new school construction and renovations
§ The last statewide school bond referendum was held in 1996, and the resulting $1.8 billion was expended before 2005
§ According to calculations in the 2015-16 Needs Survey, state funding (excluding debt service money) over the past five years would have addressed 1.6% of the reported total five-year need of almost $8.1 billion.
