A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR ELEVEN MONTHS OF EMPLOYMENT FOR TEACHERS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The General Assembly finds that adding additional workdays for public school teachers would have the benefits of increasing teacher salary, making it unnecessary for teachers to seek summer employment, giving local boards of education additional days on which to schedule teacher development, planning, and extra teacher workdays, allowing the State the capability of extending the school year, and allowing the State the capability of converting to year-round schools; therefore, it is the intent of the General Assembly to consider adding days to the school calendar as one way of increasing teacher pay.
Section 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1997.
