Modifies GS 115C-301.3(7), (appears to intend GS 115C-310.3(7); enacted in SL 2024-57) which defines “classroom excellence teacher” to be a classroom teacher in an advanced teaching role who assumes and is responsible for at least 20% more students than other classrooms of the same grade level or subject area at the same school (was, 20% more than the number of students in the most recent prior school year during which the teacher did not receive a salary supplement pursuant to this statute).
Modifies GS 115C-301.7(a) (appears to intend GS 115C-310.7(a)) permitting an ATR school to exceed maximum class sizes allowed by GS 115C-301 for kindergarten through third grade when approved by the State Board of Education (was, only during any term up to three years in which state funds are awarded to the ATR unit).
Amends GS 115C-310.13 allowing ATR units to designate up to 25% (was, 15%) of teachers in an ATR school as adult leadership teachers and 10% (was, 5%) of teachers in an ATR school as classroom excellence teachers.
Applied beginning with the 2025-26 school year.
