A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO IMPLEMENT A RECOMMENDATION OF THE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE FUNDING FOR THE SCHOOLS FOR THE DEAF.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The General Assembly finds that North Carolina has excess capacity in its schools for the deaf, that North Carolina's public schools serve almost three times the number of deaf children as do the schools for the deaf, and that the cost for educating children in the schools for the deaf is significantly higher than the cost of educating these children in North Carolina's public schools.
Sec. 2.  It is the intent of the General Assembly to examine the funding and the utilization of the schools for the deaf to determine how best to serve the needs of North Carolina children who are hearing-impaired in the most cost-efficient manner.
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
