BAKER <br /> DIRECTOR <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> To : Board of Commissioners <br /> From: Finance Director r20- <br /> 20 <br /> Subject : Update of General Assembly Actions <br /> Date : July 14, 1987 <br /> The following is an, update of certain proposals related to schools <br /> being considered by the General Assembly that has been discussed by <br /> the Board at several of the budget work sessions . <br /> 1 . Removal of internal caps - It is almost a certainty that the <br /> internal caps will be removed this year. This proposal is <br /> part of the expansion budget and is given a 99% chance of <br /> passing according to the staff at the N.C. Association of <br /> County Commissioners (NCACC) . However, the raising or <br /> elimination of the general caps , either this year or next <br /> year, is still questionable. <br /> 2 . Funding for bus drivers and "hold harmless" funding for <br /> assistant principals - These two proposals are part of a <br /> total package of proposals included in a separate supplemental <br /> appropriations bill . While it is expected that some of the <br /> items in the package will be passed by the General Assembly, <br /> the staff at the NCACC is not able to rate the chances of <br /> passage for any particular item in the total bill . However, <br /> considerable interest has been shown by the legislators in <br /> both of these proposals . <br /> All of the above proposals are being considered by the "super- <br /> subcommittee" . The next step will be consideration by the • <br /> full appropriations committee if reported out by the super- <br /> subcommittee . This is expected to occur next week. <br /> In addition to the above proposals , HB1155 , the "School <br /> Facilities Finance Act of 1987" has been approved by the <br /> House , approved by the Senate with an amendment and sent <br /> back to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendment. <br /> This bill is a compromise proposal to deal with the funding <br /> of school facility needs . The NCACC expects this bill to <br /> pass as amended by the Senate . <br /> trig FAST M A RG A RFT LANE • HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 • 919/732-8181 <br />
