Outgoing Governor Mike Easley has ordered the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction to find $119 million worth of cuts to help cover a projected budget shortfall. State officials found about half of that amount at the state level. The rest will have to come from the state's 115 local districts and charter schools. The state is letting local school superintendents decide how to find the money, said Vanessa Jeter, a spokeswoman for NC DPI. "The goal is always to minimize the impact at the student and teacher level," Jeter said.
