Schools receive extra state funding The Edenton-Chowan school system will receive an addi tional $130,465 from the Small Schools allotments for the 1998 99 school year. The 1998 Small Schools allotment for Chowan County totals $793,171 as com pared to $662,706 in 1997. The budget passed Oct. 29 by the North Carolina General Assembly included an addi tional $3 million to North Caro lina Small Schools Allotments adding up to approximately $18 million shared by 25 small, ru ral school systems in the state. “These funds are part of the life-blood of our school system’s annual budget,” said Supt. Allan Smith. According to Smith, the school schools allotment is used to provide the school district with addi tional teachers and teacher assistants in graides K-5 to fur ther reduce class size and pro vide for more individualized instruction. The funds also benefit the middle school program by add ing additional teachers for the exceptional child program, remediation and alternative education programs. These funds will provide additional high school teachers in both the science and social studies curriculum, thus increasing the number of elective classes and reduced class size in each curriculum area. In addition, these funds support the pur chase of computer hardware and software in all schools and provide personnel to trouble shoot and repair the school system’s computer and tech nology infrastructure, as well as allowing the school system to add computer and technol ogy assistants in each school to support the media and technol ogy programs there. According to Scott Penland, co-chairman of the Small Ru ral School Consortium since 1989, the North Carolina Sen ate, led by Sen. Marc Basnight, has been the leading force in helping the small rural schools. These funds supplement small rural school systems that do not have the size to generate a sufficient local tax base. Penland said, “This funding has made a big impact on many, many children across North Carolina who attend schools in areas that lack the economic resources to adequately fuqd their school.” He added, “Senator Basnight has been a champion of chil dren in these school systems that lack adequate funding. Children have no choice in where they happen to have been born. Childreh in small, rural counties deserve just as much opportunity for a quality education as any other child does.” In addition to the small schools allotment, the Edenton Chowan school system will also receive an additional $48,000 from the state Low Wealth School Fund totaling approxi mately $304,256 in the school system’s 1998-99 budget. Last year the school system re ceived $256,227 in Low Wealth Funds. Statewide, the Low Wealth School Fund received an additional $10 million boost, bringing the total to $63 mil lion for the 1998-99 school year. The purpose of the fund is to enhance instructional pro grams in counties that are des ignated as “low wealth.” Coun ties are classified as “low wealth” by the General Assem bly if they have a below aver age “ability to pay” for the op erational costs of schools, as determined by the local tax base and other factors. Cur rently, 73 of the 100 counties in North Carolina are classified as “low wealth,” and about 55 percent of North Carolina’s public school students attend schools in low wealth counties. “I know our parents, stu dents, teachers and adminis trators are thankful that legis lators included the money in the state budget,” said Supt. Allan Smith. “This money al lows us to enrich educational opportunities for all the chil dren in our schools.” Smith added that the funds will be added to support the same edu cational initiatives the Small Schools funds currently sup port. Dr. Jim Causby, chairman of the Low Wealth Schools Con sortium, said the additional money is a step toward giving all of North Carolina’s children a sound, basic education, re gardless of where they live. “We cannot continue to let county lines dictate the quality of education our young people receive,” Causby said. “Stu dents walking into any class room in our state should have access to the same opportuni ties available to those who live in wealthier counties such as Wake and Mecklenburg.” Qreat Qift 'Odea .. .
