North Carolina districts may have to provide charter schools with more money

Court ruling says districts have been underfunding charters
Nov. 25, 2009
From The Raleigh News & Observer: Public school leaders across North Carolinaare recalculating their budgets to figure out how many millions they owe charter schools to comply with a state court ruling. The state Court of Appeals ruled that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system had undercounted how much money it owed charter schools. Wake County, home to 13 charter schools, might have to provide an additional $1 million a year to charter schools. And that amount could go even higher if charter schools seek money they say they're owed for years past.
