North Carolina law requires boards of county commissioners to provide equal per pupil appropriations to each system in counties that have more than one school administrative unit, as is the case in Orange County. It is important to note that the Chapel dill-Carrboro. City School system also receives proceeds from a special district tax approved many years ago by the voters of that district. At this time, the Orange County School system does not have a similar taxing authority. The recommended fiscal year 2009-10 budget provides $3,096 per student for each of the 18,898 students in the two school systems. This represents a decrease of $104 from the 2008-- 09 approved per pupil allocation of $3,200. 0 Current Expense Funding for the Orange County Schools The recommended budget decreases the current year funding level by $921 ,918 and brings the total appropriation in current expense funding to $22,204,512. 0 Current Expense Funding for the Chapel Hill/Carrboro City Schools For the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, the recommended budget increases the current year funding level by $1 ,152,353 and brings the total General Fund funding for the District to $36,303,696. 0 District Tax — Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools The revenue neutral tax rate for the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools special district tax is 18.84 cents per $100 assessed value. The approved FY 2008-09 tax rate was 23 cents. Each penny on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro district tax rate for fiscal year 2009-10 is expected to produce $993,725. Anticipated revenue from this special tax is estimated to generate $1 ,597 per student for the district. Projected revenue from district tax proceeds for fiscal year 2009-10 totals $18,721 ,785. Recurring Capital Recurring capital outlay funding supports Category I (facility improvements), Category 11 (equipment and furnishings), and Category III (vehicles and bus purchases) expenditures. The equal per pupil allocations required by law for current expense appropriations are not applicable to this category of local school funding. 14-3
