Orange County Board of Commissioners -2- August 21, 2001 <br /> This magnet program could be funded by both school systems and <br /> open to enrollment from students of both school systems. <br /> This proposal has the advantages of <br /> 1) Using existing high school capacity that has already been <br /> purchased with taxpayer funds, <br /> 2) Delaying the use of additional funds for construction until such <br /> time as the need for additional high school capacity is more <br /> clear, <br /> 3) Providing an academic program of high interest to families in <br /> both the county and city districts, <br /> 4) Fostering cooperation between the districts that has been <br /> needed for some time,but not yet been realized. <br /> Many funding challenges face our county, both now and in the <br /> future. Our board is eager to participate in solutions that offer <br /> benefits to all of our citizens. We believe this proposal is just such <br /> a solution, and we look forward to exploring this issue with the <br /> commissioners and our colleagues from Chapel Hill-Carrboro. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> .�; c6xo- fi ice. <br /> Dana Thompson,Vice Chair <br /> Orange County Board of Education <br /> /ha <br /> Y ? c.
