A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO IMPLEMENT A RECOMMENDATION OF THE GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO REWARD TEACHERS FOR TAKING COURSES IN THEIR CONTENT AREA.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Public Education, Aid to Local School Administrative Units, the sum of seventeen million five hundred thousand dollars ($17,500,000) for the 1993-94 fiscal year and the sum of seventeen million five hundred thousand dollars  ($17,500,000) for the 1994-95 fiscal year for stipends of fifty dollars ($50.00) per day for teachers participating in staff development in their content areas during nonwork hours.  If a teacher would otherwise have excess accumulated annual leave cancelled on June 30 of a year because the school calendar and the policies adopted by the local board of education do not permit the teacher to take the annual leave and to participate in five days of staff development in the teacher's content area, a teacher is eligible for this stipend for staff development completed during nonwork hours for the lesser of five days or the number of days that would otherwise be cancelled.
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1993.
