He added that the numbers from DPI show the seats that are filled in the schools while <br /> 22 there is a separate number for the Charter Students. He said the County budgeted according to <br /> 23 the March 2015 numbers and then looked at the enrollment numbers for the Charter Schools. <br /> 24 He added that the Charter Schools must supply their numbers to the DPI. <br /> 25 Paul Laughton referenced page 145 which showed the enrollment projections. He said <br /> 26 the chart showed that the total number of projected students for both school districts in 2015- <br /> 27 2016 is 19,729. He said the number of students that are out of district, which is 220, is then <br /> 28 subtracted, and the number of Charter School students, which is 531, is added in for a grand <br /> 29 total of 20,040 students. He said the charter schools must give enrollment numbers to the <br /> 30 School Districts on a monthly basis and the current number of charter students enrolled in <br /> 31 Orange County Schools (OCS) is 475 and in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) is <br /> 32 217. <br /> 33 Commissioner Rich asked if Paul Laughton is comfortable with the numbers and how <br /> 34 they will be achieved. She asked if there is any concern that the student numbers may be <br /> 35 incorrect resulting in the Charter Schools receiving too little or too much money. <br /> 36 Paul Laughton said he is very comfortable with the numbers as the numbers are given <br /> 37 by the Charter Schools to the State as well as reported to both school districts on a monthly <br /> 38 basis. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 3. Public Comment <br /> 41 Chair McKee briefly reviewed the procedures for Public Comment. He emphasized that <br /> 42 typically the Commissioners do not comment at Public Hearings. He said this lack of response <br /> 43 does not mean that the Commissioners are not listening but rather it allows the public the <br /> 44 maximum opportunity to speak. <br /> 45 Commissioner Price asked the public to give a specific explanation of how their <br /> 46 requested funds will be used. She further requested that staff keep this information available for <br /> 47 future reference in the budget. <br />
