2 <br /> 1 Del Burns said the meeting tonight is to discuss the OCS budget request. He said the <br /> 2 BOCC previously received the OCS Budget Document, and he will highlight some points in this <br /> 3 document. He said within the OCS Budget Document, there is a Superintendent's budget <br /> 4 Message, documents to support the current funding for OCS, and supporting documents <br /> 5 regarding the requested amount. He said there is also a set of business cases. He said each <br /> 6 change, in both revenue and expenditure, is supported by a detailed business case. <br /> 7 Del Burns said there are some changes this year in how the budget was prepared. He <br /> 8 said in the last legislative session of 2014, there was a change in the way the Average Daily <br /> 9 Membership (ADM) growth is addressed in North Carolina. He said, previously, ADM growth <br /> 10 was a part of the continuation budget, and school districts were basically assured of having <br /> 11 growth. He said ADM growth was moved to the expansion budget, which is a tremendous <br /> 12 change. He said this change will not impact OCS this year as a reduction is projected. <br /> 13 Del Burns said some of the other changes that resulted from moving the ADM from the <br /> 14 continuation to the expansion budget included no longer receiving a planning allotment on which <br /> 15 budget projections are based; as well as the lack of good benefit and salary change information. <br /> 16 He said assumptions cannot be made, so OCS will move forward with what is known. He said <br /> 17 changes are expected, and adjustments will be made as credible information is received. <br /> 18 Del Burns said the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) did provide a projection for the <br /> 19 student ADM for next year. He said that number dropped by 172 students for OCS. He said <br /> 20 this drop has an impact on funding at the State level, as well as the County level; where funding <br /> 21 is provided on a per pupil basis. <br /> 22 Del Burns presented the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Orange County Schools <br /> 25 200 E.
