“Seventy Percent“ Instructional Requirement - General Fund

To provide for the accountability of State funds while affording local school board flexibility, local school boards must ensure that seventy percent (70%) of their general funds, including all revenue sources, are expended on instruction. When performing this calculation, the total of all state and local monies reported in the local school system's GENERAL FUND ONLY is considered.
