Other 1,500,000.00 to 2,000 000.00 motel X2,500,000.00 - $3,000,000.00 This plan is based upon the assumption that the current capital outlay appropriation to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools would be at the rate of $300,000.00 to $400,000.00 per year. Funds in excess of this amount would need to come from other sources. He said that the items are not listed in a priority orde r, and that the two major anticipated expenses are the renovation of Lin coln Center and the construction of a new elementary school. or additions to two existing elementary schools. Mr. Hanes, Superintendent of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System, said that the enrollment pattern at the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System parallels that of the County, with consistent enrollment growth over the past few years and a sudden jump this school year, especially in the enrollment at the first grade level, and that the projected growth over the next four years shows 200 for the next year, 150 for the second year, and l00 each for the third end fourth years. He said that the timing of the eonstruction• of the new elementary school will depend on whether this enrollment projedtavn holds true, or whether there is a sharper increase in the students enrplled. He said that.the elementary schools will be operating at 93-99~ capacity during the next four years, if the projected increase is correct. He said that the Board anticipates that the current capital outlay appropriation will be continued in addition to the needs expressed. Mr. Williams said that the County Board of Education also anticipate that the currant capital outlay appropriation will ba continued. Mr. Howard said that„ as far as the Orange County is concerned, the school needs in the county will occur on a yearly basis, with major funding needed yearly either by the County or by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School system. Mrs. Garrett asked for discussion on how the projected needs should be funded. Mr. Caldwell said that when projects get funded on a pay-as-you-gp basis something gets sacrificed, since not enough funds are available to do all the necessary parts of the projects. He said that experience has shown that, in the past, the State has had to assist counties about every twenty years to help with building needs, but the State has issued bonds recently, and the schools cannot wait another ten years for them capital improvements. - --
