SECTION B Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday, May 9, 1985 p _ SECTION B Spending Habits Scrutinized CHAPEL HILL-North Carolina’s method of financing public schools tends to equalize spending employment between school systems in high and low income areas, but some systems, including many with relatively high per capita incomes, spend considerably less in local funds and have fewer employees per 100 students than others, according to a new study. The study’s author, economist Charles Liner of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, believes the Genenral Assembly can help ensure more equal educational opportunity for the state’s children by adopting the Basic Education Program it is now considering. The program would enable the N.C. Department of Public In struction to require that every school offer a minimum of courses in such areas as advanced mathematics, foreign languages and the arts. A report on Liner's findings will appear in the May issue of the Sdiool Law Bulletin, a publication of the Institute of Government where he works. It details how much money each of North Carolina’s school units received from local, state and federal sources during the 1982-83 year and, for the first time, com pares spending for education with per capita incomes within each unit. “It is apparent from this study that if North Carolina relied heavily on local systems to sup port schools, as many states do, serious disparities in spending for schools would arise, ” Liner said in an interview. As an example, he said the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school unit, which ranks ninth in the state in' per capita income, spent $1,128 in local funds per student during 1982-83, the highest in the state. The St. Pauls school unit, however, ranking 138th in income, spent only $287 in local funds. State and federal appropria tions brought total spending per student in the Chapel Hill Carrboro system to $2,553 and in the St. Pauls system, located in Robeson County, to $1,889. But some relatively wealthy units spent far less in local funds per student than relatively poor units, Liner said. Union County schools, for ex ample, where the per capita in come ranks 25th in the state, spent only $381 of its own money per stu dent. Hyde County, however, which ranked 136th in income, spent $627 for each pupil. Ovall, Hyde Couitfy had the third highest total spending per student in North Carolina after the Durham and Asheville city units. “The most interesting finding in this study is that the lowest spen ding systems tend to be counties that are not poor,” Liner said. “They have incomes above the median level, and their problem is that they don’t spend much from local funds, and because they are not poor, don’t get much from the federal government either.” Davidson, Randolph, Catawba, Continued On Page 7-B ; . 1935 1985 The Children of JVhitemm ^ invite you to be present at the Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary of their parents on Sunday, May 19, 1985 from 3:00 until 5:00 p.m. Albemarle Baptist Mission Cape Colony Edenton, North Carolina Mother's Day is Sunday, May 12th.
