      <Desc>Major school choice expansion as the North Carolina General Assembly was able to pass a bi-partisan budget that includes our school choice priorities, including: Scholarship maximum increases from a flat $4,200 to 90% of the States public school per pupil spending for a full-time student (45% for part-time students), which is approximately $5,900. As public school per pupil spending increases each year, so would the scholarship amount. Increases income requirements from 150% to 175% of the amount required for the student to qualify for free and reduced lunchincome for a family of four increases from approximately $73,000/year to approximately $85,000/year. Increases the states yearly appropriation from $10 million per year to $15 million per year until the 2031-2032 school year. The State may contract with a nonprofit to provide outreach and assistance to families as they navigate the scholarship process.</Desc>
