3 CHAPEL HILL-CARRBORO CITY SCHOOLS Lincoln Center, Merritt Mill Road Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27516 Telephone: (919) 967-8211 Neil G. Pedersen Ann Hart, Assistant Superintendent Superintendent for Instructional Services Chester Preyar, Assistant Superintendent for Support Services TO: John Link Orange County Manager FROM: Neil G. Pedersen Superintendent RE: Information Pertaining to the Proposed Elementary School DATE: August 30, 1994 Enclosed is information which you requested pertaining to the elementary school that we are planning to construct in time to open for the 1996-97 school year. This facility has been discussed for at least the last three years with our Board as well as the County Commissioners. In 1992 we proposed that this elementary school be constructed as part of an elementary- middle school complex on Old Fayetteville Road. The project was temporarily derailed when the bond package included only a middle and high school for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. Last year we had extensive discussions with your staff and the Commissioners about financing options for an additional elementary school. It was agreed that the County would issue certificates of participation which would be paid back through revenues generated from impact fees and appropriated in our pay-as-you-go budget. We also reviewed the design and square footage requirements with the non-binding task force and it was my understanding that we had reached consensus on a design which called for a facility which was slightly less than 100,000 square feet in size. Knowing that the school needed to be open for the 1996-97 school year, we have proceeded with the design process and will be ready to bid the school in November. This schedule is dependent upon receiving the necessary approvals on a timely basis from the County Commissioners and the Town of Carrboro.
