Why does the State of North Carolina provide only a few state-funded services to North Carolina non-public schools?
State-funded services provided to non-public schools or their students (such as textbooks, curriculum materials and school bus transportation) are determined by the individual states rather than by the US government. Consequently, some states deal with this issue differently than others. The State of North Carolina historically has not provided funding for tuition, textbooks, educational materials, nationally standardized testing, school bus transportation, etc., for students enrolled in North Carolina non-public schools. Any determination to change that policy would have to be made by the North Carolina General Assembly which approves the annual North Carolina education budget.
