Summary of HB 1106 (Session 2025, North Carolina)

Title

NC Pre-K Funding/Iredell County

Purpose

To appropriate NC Prekindergarten (NC Pre-K) funds to the Iredell County Partnership for Young Children, Inc. so that Iredell County receives NC Pre-K funding per child at a level equal to Beaufort County.

Key Provisions

  • Funding appropriation:
    • The General Fund will provide an annual recurring appropriation of $260,538 to Iredell County Partnership for Young Children, Inc.
    • The funding is designated for the NC Prekindergarten (NC Pre-K) program in Iredell County.
    • The funding is set to begin in the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
  • Funding parity:
    • The act specifies that Iredell County will receive the same funding level per NC Pre-K child as Beaufort County, ensuring uniform per-child funding between these two counties.

Effective Date

  • The act becomes effective on July 1, 2026.

Provisions About Enactment

  • The appropriation is an act of the General Assembly and targets Iredell County Partnership for Young Children, Inc. as the recipient entity for administering NC Pre-K funds in Iredell County.

Potential Impact

  • Program access and quality: With increased and parity-aligned funding, Iredell County is positioned to sustain or expand NC Pre-K services, resources, and staffing to align with Beaufort County’s per-child funding level.
  • Budget implications: The recurring $260,538 appropriation represents ongoing state support starting in FY 2026-2027, impacting the General Fund allocations for NC Pre-K administration in Iredell County.
  • Equity considerations: The bill addresses funding equity by ensuring Iredell County children enrolled in NC Pre-K receive per-child funding comparable to Beaufort County.

Who is Affected

  • Primary beneficiary: Iredell County children enrolled in the NC Pre-K program.
  • Recipient organization: Iredell County Partnership for Young Children, Inc., which administers or manages NC Pre-K programming in the county.
  • State: North Carolina General Fund; the NC Pre-K program’s funding framework is adjusted to establish parity with another county.

If you’d like, I can add a brief comparison to Beaufort County’s current per-child NC Pre-K funding levels or provide a timeline with key dates (appropriation start, fiscal year milestones).
