ORANGE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br /> Room No. 12 <br /> 106 EAST MARGARET LANE <br /> HILLSBOROUGH,N.O. <br /> 27278 <br /> RICHAG:.1 WHITTED,Cboi.mm <br /> NORMAN WALKER <br /> .'-ORMAN GUSTAVESON <br /> DONALD WILLHOIT <br /> ANNE BARNES <br /> June 14, 1979 <br /> The Honorable Edward S. Holmes <br /> Representative <br /> P. 0. Box. 595 <br /> Pittsboro, NC 27312 <br /> Dear Ed: <br /> Thank you for your response to our telegram concerning State <br /> funding of public education as it relates to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br /> and Orange County School Systems. <br /> It is our understanding that the Department of Public Instruction <br /> has contacted you concerning the errors in the figures supplied to you. <br /> Figures supplied to Chapel Hill-Carrboro system by Mr. Tom King, <br /> Assistant Controller, Financial Services of DPI on June 12, 1979 <br /> reflect the increases that we referred to in our telegram. For <br /> Chapel Hill-Carrboro, these figures are: <br /> Allotments A:'1 Per Capita <br /> 1978_79 $4,694,155 5580 841.25 <br /> 1979-80 Projected 4,869,733 5369 907.01 <br /> Increase (Decrease) 175,578 (211) 65.76 <br /> % Increase (Decrease) 3.74% (3.78%) 7.82% <br /> As you can see, the increase in total funds represents a 3.74% increase <br /> in 79/80 funds over 78/79. While these figures are yet to be confirmed, <br /> we believe they more nearly reflect the actual situation. The per capita <br /> increase is attributed to a projected 4% decrease in the average daily <br /> membership. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro system officials are not at all <br /> certain that this will be the actual situation in the 79/80 school year. <br />
