Whitted <br /> Chairman <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> 207 Nash Street <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> Dear Richard: <br /> Yesterday I, and other members of our delegation <br /> received a telegram from your Board indicating your dis- <br /> satisfaction with the biannual budget as it relates to the <br /> Orange County School System and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br /> School System. <br /> As to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro System, your telegram <br /> states you are receiving an estimated three percent increase. <br /> The figures I received from the Department of Public Instruc- <br /> tion indicate that you will receive an increase of 20.6 percent. <br /> Your per capita allotment increases an unbelievable $173.46 <br /> per child. <br /> You indicated a six percent increase for Orange County; <br /> whereas, our information indicates a 7.84 percent increase. <br /> I am attaching a copy of a chart furnished me by the Department <br /> and if you find the same is in error, please let me know. In <br /> view of your telegram I would appreciate a response even if <br /> you do agree with the Department's figures. <br /> We. are further advised that the appropriation for the <br /> Excepti^nal Children's Program is adequately funded. If You <br /> find this is not the case with the two systems in your county, <br /> please give me specific information as to the shortcomings <br /> and I will be happy to take it up with the Department. <br />
