Public School Part-Time Enrollment.

This bill requires public schools and charter schools in North Carolina to allow students from nonpublic schools to enroll part-time for access to specific courses, programs, or services. The law mandates that local school boards create policies for this enrollment and make them available on their websites, while charter schools must also post relevant information online. Schools will receive state funding for part-time students, with full per-pupil funding for those attending one-third or more of instructional time and half funding for those attending less. The legislation also clarifies that part-time nonpublic school students will not count toward a charter school's enrollment growth metrics.
