4. 1.2 Transfer the authority for hiring and firing to the Principals and Department Heads starting Jan. 1 , 1995. This will be part of a phase over plan that calls for record keeping for hiring and firing to be transferred to the school unit in year two. The current personnel department will have no final authority over the choices made by the Principals and Department Heads but will be advised when potential legal or policy problems may present themselves. The Superintendent can, of course, override any hiring decision but is expected to do so on an infrequent and exception basis. 4.1.3 Provide a budget program for each school to track the details of the 1994-5 budget on a local school basis. The budget status can be uploaded to the central AS 400 system for monitoring during the year. 4.1 .4 All schools and all departments in central administra- tion should begin preparing a zero based budget for 1995-6 in January of 1995. This will require detail information on spending from the previous year as background information. The first zero based budget will be Ex personnel and maintenance but will contain capital budget requests. 4.1.5 All storerooms will be phased out over the first year. Current stock will be used as needed and what is left will be returned to suppliers or sold as needed. By June 30, 1995 all stockrooms will be closed. . 4.1.8 .All direct interconnects between the schools and the central host computer will be put on line in 1994-5. Interactivity is a requirement for the plan. 4.1.7 A system architecture plan for the entire information systems of the school system must be completed in year one and should begin as soon as possible. This may require the use of additional personnel or the hiring of an outside consultant to complete the plan. We suggest the use of volunteer students from the Kenan-Flagler MBA program at Chapel Hill. 18
