A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to provide proportional allotment of seats for each participating unit in a regional school.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 115C‑238.67(b) reads as rewritten:
"(b)	Participating Unit Allotments. – The number of student seats in the freshman class of the regional school shall be apportioned according to the average daily membership enrollment of participating units, not to exceed ten percent (10%) above of the percentage of representation proportionate to the total student population of the participating units, as determined by the participating unit's final average daily membership in the preceding school year. If fewer students residing in a participating unit elect to attend the regional school than available allotted seats, the remaining seats shall be divided proportionally among the other participating units."
SECTION 2.  Notwithstanding the last sentence of G.S. 115C‑238.67(b), until the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee makes recommendations on statutory changes to G.S. 115C‑238.67(b), once the number of student seats in the freshman class of the regional school have been assigned proportionate to the total student population of the participating units, if fewer students residing in a participating unit elect to attend the regional school than available allotted seats, the remaining seats shall not be divided proportionally among the other participating units.
SECTION 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law and applies with a freshman class entering a regional school for the 2019‑2020 school year and each subsequent school year and the apportionment for offset of average daily membership for district enrollment.
