— Five school districts in central North Carolina will receive more than $111 million in construction grants from lottery proceeds.

The state Department of Public Instruction announced a total of $400 million to more than two dozen districts across the state for school construction, renovation or other capital improvements.

State officials say it’s the most money ever awarded in a year from the Needs-Based Public School Capital Fund, created by the General Assembly in 2017 from revenues from the North Carolina Education Lottery.
