Terms Used In North Carolina General Statutes 115C-426.2
- Budget: is a plan proposed by a board of education for raising and spending money for specified school programs, functions, activities, or objectives during a fiscal year. See North Carolina General Statutes 115C-423
- Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
In order to promote greater mutual understanding of immediate and long-term budgetary issues and constraints affecting public schools and county governments, local boards of education and boards of county commissioners are strongly encouraged to conduct periodic joint meetings during each fiscal year. In particular, the boards are encouraged to assess the school capital outlay needs, to develop and update a joint five-year plan for meeting those needs, and to consider this plan in the preparation and approval of each year’s budget under this Article. (1995 (Reg. Sess., 1996), c. 666, s. 2.)
