AN ACT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TIME FOR TEACHER STAFF DEVELOPMENT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to State Aid to Local School Administrative Units the sum of nine million seven hundred thousand dollars ($9,700,000) for the 1995-96 fiscal year and the sum of nine million seven hundred thousand dollars ($9,700,000) for the 1996-97 fiscal year to provide additional time for teacher staff development or instructional or curriculum development activities.

The teachers authorized to participate shall receive a stipend of fifty dollars ($50.00) per day for each day they participate in activities authorized by the principal.
