Rulemaking Information
In compliance with Chapter 115C, Article 2A of the North Carolina General Statutes, the State Board of Education (“SBE”) hereby gives notice of its intent to exercise its rule-making authority to take the following actions:
Re-Adopt:
16 NCAC 06B .0103 (Local Policies for Public School Transportation Programs)
16 NCAC 06B .0107 (Evaluation of Public School Transportation Programs)
The text of the proposed rule changes can be found accessed by clicking on the link above. The anticipated effective date of the proposed rule changes is September 1, 2025.
Reason for Proposed Action
To comply with statutory requirements that the SBE periodically review and re-adopt rules issued under its authority, the SBE proposes to re-adopt two rules governing public school transportation systems operated by local school administrative units. Rule 16 NCAC 06B .0103 requires each local board of education to adopt and implement certain policies, rules, and regulations governing its public school transportation system. Rule 16 NCAC 06B .0107 requires local school administrative units to cooperate with efforts by the Department of Public Instruction to evaluate those systems. The SBE has proposed technical revisions to each rule but no substantive changes.
Public Comment
The SBE will hold a public hearing on this proposed rule via WebEx on May 23, 2025 at 9:00 AM. Members of the public may access the public hearing using the information at the bottom of this notice.
