AUDIENCE COMMENTS <br />1. MATTERS ON THE PRINTED AGENDA <br />Chair Marshall indicated that those who have indicated a desire to <br />speak will be recognized at the time their item appears on the agenda. <br />Because of the length of the agenda, time will not allow additional <br />comments on the Animal Ordinance. She asked that one person make the <br />statement with regards to the school budget. <br />2. MATTERS NOT ON THE PRINTED AGENDA <br />Sarah Stewart, representative of the Chapel Hill - Carrboro <br />Federation of Teachers, questioned statements made by the Board with <br />regard to not being able to line item specific items and parity. She <br />asked that the Board look at the pay level of those who are involved with <br />the Career Ladder in the Orange County School System when considering <br />parity in the supplemental pay. She emphasized that at the June 8 public <br />hearing on the budget there was an overwhelming concern about education. <br />She asked for full support from the <br />education. Commissioners for the sake of <br />John Schaenman, representative of the Orange County Federation of <br />Teachers, indicated that the Orange County Schools do not equate equity <br />with merger but equate equity with the two schools being funded at the <br />same level. He feels that those who live in the Orange County School <br />District would vote for an additional tax for education. He referred to <br />the comments made at the June 8 public hearing and to the fact that no one <br />asked that taxes be cut but only that if the money is going to the schools <br />that the taxes be increased. He asked that the schools be funded first at <br />a level of 65% before considering the other proposals. <br />0 <br />
