A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT FOR STAFF DEVELOPMENT IN LOCAL CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAMS.
Whereas, it is difficult for a hungry child to learn the basic education skills that are essential to becoming a productive citizen in adult life; and
Whereas, these lunches are nutritionally balanced and nourish the minds and bodies of young school children, the State's most valuable and important resource; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Public Education for the 1989-90 fiscal year the sum of two hundred eighty thousand dollars ($280,000) to be allocated as follows:
(1) To each local school administrative unit the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00); and
(2) Of the remaining funds after the allocation specified in subdivision (1) of this section, to each local school unit, an additional sum based on its average daily membership; for staff development in the areas of financial management, food production, meal service, and nutrition education.  Local school units receiving funds under this act shall participate in the Management Assessment Plan and shall establish a staff development plan.
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.  The Department of Public Education shall report by May 1, 1990, to the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and the Fiscal Research Division of the Legislative Services Office on its progress in providing staff development for local child nutrition programs.
