Holmes <br />Representative <br />P. 0. Box 595 <br />Pittsboro, NC 27312 <br />Dear Ed: <br />Thank you for your response to our telegram concerning State <br />funding of public education as it relates to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br />and Orange County School Systems. <br />It is our understanding that the Department of Public Instruction <br />has contacted you concerning the errors in the figures supplied to you. <br />Figures supplied to Chapel Hill-Carrboro system by Mr. Tom King, <br />Assistant Controller, Financial Services of DPI on June 12, 1979 <br />reflect the increases that we referred to in our telegram, For <br />Chapel Hill-Carrboro, these figures are: <br />. Allotments A;^1 Per Capita <br />1978-79 $4,694,155 5580 841.25 <br />1979-80 Projected 4,869,733 5369 9D7.01 <br />Increase (Decrease) 175,578 (211) 65.76 <br />% Increase (Decrease) 3.74% (3.78%) 7.82% <br />As you can see, the increase in total funds represents a 3.74p increase <br />in 79/80 funds over 78/79. While these figures are yet to be confirmed, <br />we believe they mare nearly reflect the actual situation. The pe~• capita <br />increase is attributed to a projected 4% decrease in the average daily <br />membership. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro system officials are not at all <br />certain that this will be the actual situation in the 79/80 school year. <br />
