    Repeals the following subsections of GS 115C-431, which concerns procedures for resolving disputes between a board of education and a board of county commissioners over the amount of money appropriated to the local current expense fund, or the capital outlay fund. Repeals (c) (allowing a local board of education to file an action if within five days after an announcement of no agreement on the amount of money to be appropriated to the capital outlay fund has been made by the mediator), (d) (setting out procedure for an appeal from the judgment in c), and (e) (concerning the levy of supplemental taxes when the judgement under c is rendered after the due date prescribed by law for property taxes).

    Amends the statute by adding that if an agreement on the amount of money appropriated to the capital outlay fund is not reached in mediation, then the decision of the county commissioners is final. Prohibits the local board of education from filing any legal action challenging the sufficiency of the funds appropriated to the capital outlay fund by the board of county commissioners.

    Makes conforming changes to GS 115C-432.
