Also requires that in fiscal year 2011-2012, the allotment to districts and charter schools be reduced to provide $2 million to create an NCVPS enrollment reserve, to be used to cover the NCVPS instructional costs of local school administrative units or charter schools with enrollments exceeding projected NCVPS enrollment. Beginning in fiscal year 2012-2013, requires the state board to annually reduce each local school administrative unit's or charter school's classroom teacher allotment, or other allotment, as determined by the state board, on the basis of ADM in grades 6-12 an amount that is the difference between $2,000,000 and the balance of the NCVPS enrollment reserve.
