State funding increased. only an estimated 3 % for Chapel Hill-Carrboro School System and an estimated 6% for Orange County School System. Th is is not a realistic effort on the State's part to provide quality educational opportunities for every child. State is not providing adequate funding to meet educational needs identified in the area of exceptional children. We urge your attention to this prior to adoption of next biennium budget.
