  • to assure an equitable distribution of State funds among LEAs that will promote safety, quality and extent of service as required by State law and State Board Policy;
  • to provide information systems and technical assistance to help LEAs provide transportation service as efficiently as possible without compromising the quality of service; and,
  • to provide for LEA fiscal responsibility, decision-making authority and accountability.

 

Additional resources for school districts, schools, parents, students and others are available at North Carolina's School Bus Safety Web.
