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