North Carolina’s non-public school laws do not address the issue of corporal punishment. State law allows all local North Carolina public school systems to use corporal punishment if they wish to do so; however, most of them do not exercise it. DNPE suggests that schools utilizing it follow the public school general guidelines for its use. You may access them by clicking on G.S. 115C- 391.
