A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO MAKE ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES AVAILABLE TO ALL STUDENTS OF THE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1. The General Assembly believes that the economic, political, and social well-being of the State is dependent upon the quality of education provided to its children.  The General Assembly finds that for the children of this State to approach their educational potential, they must have available a challenging curriculum.  The General Assembly further finds that low class enrollments and the number of small, rural schools have prevented many local school administrative units from making available the advanced courses necessary for their students to achieve the educational level of which they are capable.
Sec. 2.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Public Education the sum of $1,750,000 for the 1991-92 fiscal year to make advanced placement courses available to all high school students in the public schools of the State. These funds may be used for acquiring necessary start-up textbooks, providing teacher training, and payment of examination fees associated with advanced placement examinations.
Sec. 3.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1991.
