LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS <br /> OF CHAPEL HILL/CARRBORO,NC <br /> The League of Women Voters of North Carolina has commended the <br /> Chapel Hill-Carrboro School District for being a model in North <br /> Carolina for local support of schools and local participation through <br /> various advisory committees and an Effective Schools Project. <br /> The League of Women Voters of Chapel Hill/Carrboro encourages you <br /> to support this local effort by funding the total budget for the Chapel <br /> Hill-Carrboro City Schools. The expansion budget will increase salaries <br /> for teachers and staff as well as bus drivers. Improving teacher salaries <br /> and school bus safety have long been concerns of the League. <br /> We ask you to meet your responsibility to adequately fund the <br /> capital needs of both school systems in the county. Both systems need <br /> increased funds for current and long-range capital spending. For <br /> instance, all elementary schools in Chapel Hill/Carrboro are at or <br /> above capacity with additional growth anticipated. Last year three <br /> temporary classrooms were purchased at a cost of $150,000 to relieve <br /> crowding. This year at least two units will have to be added. <br /> The League of Women Voters supports the recommendation from the <br /> 1985 School Capital Needs Task Force to build the school facilities <br /> needed. We urge you to establish a calendar as soon as possible which <br /> could make the bonds a reality. <br /> June 8, 1987 <br />
