This ensures that parents, educators, and the general public are informed on how State funds have been used to address local educational priorities, each local school administrative unit shall published by October 15 of each year. The five requirements are summarized below.
Note: Some related documents are posted at www.ncpublicschools.org/fbs/resources/data/ "Annual Expenditure Report by LEA". LEAs may use these documents to fulfill (1) and (2) and (5) of the legislation, if they choose. LEAs are required to complete (3) and (4). See below.
