need to continue to advocate for this funding to be restored and continue to look for <br />opportunities to address these needs. <br />Summary <br />In summary, the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools is continuing to grow. Enrollment <br />growth, combined with the impact of mandated cost increases, expiring grant funding, and <br />continued slow economic recovery has lead to the need to request additional funding from our <br />community to support our students' educational needs. This budget is based on the County <br />Commissioners appropriating additional funding compared to the current year. It is also <br />based on the Board continuing to use additional fund balance to help balance the budget. We <br />will continue in our efforts to realign and repurpose existing resources. Over the next few <br />months, we will be closely monitoring developments at both the local and state level. As the <br />picture becomes clearer, administration will bring forward additional budget <br />recommendations as necessary. <br />Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools continues its commitment to providing a quality <br />education for all of our students. This budget request reflects the priorities of our Board and <br />our focus on improving instruction. <br />The continued support of the County Commissioners to public education in Orange County is <br />greatly appreciated. We thank you and our entire community for making education a priority. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />rl�#*, 40 am, <br />Dr. Thomas A. Forcella <br />1 -5 <br />
