By agreement with the schools, the County now <br />pays to the schools each month 1/12 of the total annual per- <br />pupil appropriation. By statute, however, the County must pay <br />over supplemental tax receipts to the schools within ten days <br />of the close of each month. N.C.G.S. §1150-511. If the County <br />chose to equalize funding for the schools by the regular County <br />per-pupil appropriation, the County may benefit from the <br />"float." The supplemental tax approach would obligate the <br />County to pay over the revenue generated by the supplemental <br />tax as the revenue is received. Typically, large sums are <br />received in the last calendar quarter of each year, much <br />smaller sums at other times, An analysis of this aspect of the <br />issue can probably be done by Finance. <br />If you have further questions, please call. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Geoffrey E.
