STUDY OF STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION OF THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION, STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF INSTRUCTION, AND DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
The North Carolina State Appropriations Act of 2008 directed the Program Evaluation
Division of the General Assembly to study the State Board of Education and Department
of Public Instruction. Specific language requiring the study is as follows:
SECTION 9.14. The Joint Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight
Committee shall include in the 2008-2009 Work Plan for the Program Evaluation
Division of the General Assembly a review and study of the structure and organization
of the Department of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education. The Program
Evaluation Division shall submit the study to the Joint Legislative Program Evaluation
Oversight Committee, the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee, the Chairs
of the Appropriations Committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and
the Fiscal Research Division by December 31, 2008.1
The Legislative Service Commission authorized the Program Evaluation Division to
prepare an RFP and recommend a consultant to perform the study under contract to the
Legislative Services Commission.
