Section II <br />was relatively constant Even though 4-year historic growth at the high school level is moderate <br />and recognizable, future projections are more moderate because of the slowing of growth at the <br />elementary and middle school levels. The need for an additional High School is not anticipated <br />in the 10-year projection period. However, staff is closely monitoring new sizeable residential <br />projects in the Orange County portion of Mebane and Hillsborough. <br />Additional Information for Orange County School District <br />The City of Mebane lies partially within Orange County and students within the Orange County <br />portion of Mebane attend Orange County schools. However, the City of Mebane is not a party to <br />the SAPFO agreement and therefore does not issue CAPS (Certificate of Adequate Public <br />Schools). In recent years, development activity and platting of new subdivisions increased <br />within the Orange County portion of Mebane. However, changing economic conditions may <br />curb this activity. <br />Increased coordination with the City of Mebane regarding development issues may be necessary <br />in the future. OCS currently has capacity to serve additional growth, but it is possible that <br />rampant development in the Orange County portion of Mebane could quickly encumber <br />available capacity. <br />5.
