2013 -14 Enrollment Projections <br />Current Expense <br />As stated earlier, local current expense funding supplements State and Federal funds received by <br />each district for the operation of the schools. North Carolina law requires boards of county <br />commissioners to provide equal per pupil appropriations to each system in counties that have more <br />than one school administrative unit, as is the case in Orange County. <br />It is important to note that the Chapel Hill - Carrboro City School system also receives proceeds from a <br />special district tax approved many years ago by the voters of that district. At this time, the Orange <br />County School system does not have a similar taxing authority. <br />The approved fiscal year 2013 -14 budget provides $3,269 per student for each of the 19,908 students <br />in the two school systems. This represents a $102 per pupil increase from the $3,167 per pupil <br />approved for fiscal year 2012 -13. <br />• Current Expense Funding for the Orange County Schools <br />The approved budget increases the current year funding level by $1,038,459 and brings the total <br />appropriation in current expense funding to $25,060,154. <br />• Current Expense Funding for the Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools <br />For the Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools, the approved budget increases the current year funding <br />level by $1,650,893 and brings the total current expense funding for the District to $40,019,098. <br />• District Tax —Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools <br />The special district tax rate for the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools is approved to increase by <br />2.00 cents, from 18.84 cents to 20.84 cents per $100 assessed value for FY 2013 -14.
