1987. CHAPEL HILL-CARRBORO CITY SCHOOLS 055 LINCOLN CENTER,MERRITT MILL ROAD CHAPEL HILL,NORTH CAROLINA 27514 Telephone: (919) 967-8211 GERRY HOUSE,Superintendent MICHAEL RADZ,Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Services SHEILA BREITWEISER,Assistant Superintendent March 25, 1987 for Support Services Mr. Ken Thompson Orange County Manager 106 East Margaret Lane Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Ken: Again, we in the Chapel ,Hill-Carrboro City School System will be faced with an increasing student population and insufficient space to accommodate the growth. Until some permanent construction can take place, we have no choice but to utilize alternate classroom space. The Board of Education is requesting again this year that the County Commissioners guarantee the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City School System at least $100,000 in the capital outlay budget for 1987-88 in order that we may proceed with the construction of two additional classroom units at Seawell School for use next year. The request is being made now in order to allow the necessary lead time for construction of the units to be completed for the beginning of school next fall . From our experience last year, we know this amount of time is needed in order to assure that the units will be ready for teachers when they report to work on August 18, 1987. It is the hope of the Board of Education that the County Commissioners will consider this request for $100,000 for building construction in excess of any allocation for current capital expenses. The school system' s ongoing main- tenance needs will continue to be seriously unaddressed as long as we are required to allot an amount as great as $100,000 from our capital outlay alloca- tion for construction costs to accommodate growth. The predictions indicate that this student population growth trend will continue. I appreciate your attention to this matter and eagerly await a response. Sinc ely, (Mrs. ) Gerry House Superintendent GH/alg
