Thisallows one additional month of school psychologist time for each of theconverted schools.Legal Implications (if any):Compliance with NC Procedures for Exceptional Students that requireno more than 90-days between referral and placement is facilitated byhaving psychologists available while year-round schools are in session.279 FY 2007-08 Plan for Student Success
