A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO THE HAYWOOD SCHOOLS FOR A JUNKED CARS PROGRAM.
Whereas, the Haywood County Schools propose to establish a program to pick up and dispose of junked and abandoned vehicles by the Vocational Education Department; and
Whereas, the program will be established at Pisgah and Tuscola High Schools where teams of students under the supervision of the teachers from the Automotive Section will supervise the recovery of the junked and abandoned vehicles; and 
Whereas, with the use of two wreckers purchased for this program, the teams will recover the junked and abandoned vehicles and move them to assigned junk dealers receiving payment for each vehicle recovered; and 
Whereas, the benefits of this program will be:
(1)	Removal of the junked cars throughout the county, with the attendant improvement of appearance of the county;
(2)	Haywood County would not have to pay for the removal of the vehicles and the Haywood County Schools would derive income from the program; and
(3)	The students would benefit from the educational aspects of the program and the fostering of an entrepreneurial spirit and highlighting the School-Based Enterprise concept in establishing this pilot project for the entire State.
Whereas, this program would be unique within the State and, if successful, could serve as the basis for expanding the program statewide; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund the sum of $50,000 for the 1989-90 fiscal year to the Haywood County School System to purchase two wreckers, purchase insurance, and provide operating expenses for the junked and abandoned vehicle pick-up and disposal program of the Haywood County Schools.
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
