A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FLEXIBILITY TO COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Section 9.5 of S.L. 1999-237 reads as rewritten:
"Section 9.5.  A local community college may use all State funds allocated to it, except for Literacy Funds and Funds for New and Expanding Industries, for any authorized purpose that is consistent with the college's Institutional Effectiveness Plan.  Each local community college shall include in its Institutional Effectiveness Plan a section on how funding flexibility allows the college to meet the demands of the local community and  to maintain a presence in all previously funded categorical programs.
It shall be the goal of each local community college to increase the average salary of its full-time faculty members to, at a minimum, the average salary of full-time faculty at public two-year institutions in the member states of the Southern Regional Education Board.  Each local community college shall set out in its Institutional Effectiveness Plan its efforts to increase faculty and staff salaries and to meet this goal.
The State Board may examine new State Aid allocation options that more closely align the allocation and expenditure of State-appropriated resources.
."
Section 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 2000.
