We also feel that it is imperative to remember that we have had large capital funding <br /> reductions, despite having tremendous needs. We have a significant number of facilities <br /> in excess of forty years old and a few that are over sixty years old. Our technology <br /> funding is lacking the resources to be able to provide the needed infrastructure and <br /> support to deliver technology resources to all of our students and staff. In addition, the <br /> district must be prepared to meet the anticipated online testing requirements. Both the <br /> state and the county have reallocated capital money to help fund operational budgets over <br /> the past few years. As a result, our unfunded facility and technology needs continue to <br /> grow. We need to continue to advocate for this funding to be restored. <br /> In summary,the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is continuing to face budget issues <br /> moving forward. The Board is presenting a balanced budget based on the best <br /> information that we know of at this time. It has been developed to meet the needs of our <br /> district. We will be seeking to realign and repurpose existing resources. This budget is <br /> based on the County Commissioners appropriating a$67 per pupil increase for 2012-13. <br /> It is also based on the Board continuing to use additional fund balance to help balance the <br /> budget. <br /> Respectfully su i ed, <br /> Thomas Force la <br /> 4 <br />
