Gordon <br />Stephen Halkiotis <br />Barry Jacobs <br />Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />Post Office Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />FROM THE DESK OF <br />GEOFFREY E GLEDHILL <br />RE: Issues related to the proposed Orange County Adequate <br />Public School Facilities Program ` <br />Dear Board Members : '~,,, <br />This letter is intended to frame several issues arising_ <br />from the excellent work completed by the School and Land Use <br />Councils. The issues arise from my review of the minutes of the <br />meetings of the Councils and from my attendance at some of the <br />meetings of the Councils. <br />The adequate public schools facilities proposed memorandum <br />of understanding and related ordinances create a system whereby <br />the schools issue certificates of adequacy of public schools <br />facilities based on school service levels. The proposed <br />ordinance provides that, after reviewing certain criteria, the <br />schools make a determination that there is adequate capacity at <br />the elementary school level, middle school level and high school <br />level. If the project of the applicant for the certificate would <br />cause any of the three school levels to exceed the service <br />levels in the ordinance, the certificates would not be issued. <br />
