<br />Facilitator's Notes <br />- Fair Funding Work Group <br />Tuesday, May 23, 2006 <br />Orange County Schools Central Office, Hillsborough <br />Work Group Members Present: Jamezetta Bedford, Randy Copeland, Valerie Foushee, <br />Alice Gordon, Jean Hamilton, Libbie Hough, Michael Kelley, Dennis Whitling. <br />StaffPresent: Shirley Carraway, John Link, Neil Pedersen, Andy Sachs (facilitator), Rod <br />Visser <br />Convening <br />Randy Copeland, Chair of the Orange County Schools (OCS). Board of Education <br />welcomed the group to the county district's central offices. He said that his Board has <br />been looking forward to today's conversation; and that he was hoping to raise some' <br />questions and clarify some issues that are of interest to his Board. He said that he was <br />open to hearing the ideas of the members of the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools <br />(CHCCS) Board of Education, and reiterated his welcome to all of the attendees. <br />Jamezetta Bedford, Vice Chair of the CHCCS Board of Education, introduced herself and <br />fellow CHCCS Board of Education members Jean Hamilton and Michael Kelley, and <br />said that they were all glad to be present. <br />Alice Gordon, Board of Orange County Commissioners (BOCC), said that she was <br />looking forward to the meeting and hoping that the group would be able to develop a <br />shazed vision, a shared data base, and address the three elected Boards' shared challenges <br />together. <br />Andy Sachs, who had been asked by BOCC to serve as facilitator for the group, <br />presented the proposed meeting plan. Mr. Whitling asked how the meeting plan had been <br />developed. Commissioner Gordon explained that she had reviewed, revised, and <br />ultimately approved a draft that Mr: Sachs had developed based on a conference call with <br />.Commissioner Gordon and Mr. Visser. <br />Commissioner Gordon explained that BOCC wanted the group to have one or two <br />meetings to see if the group could come up with solutions for the coming budget year. <br />Since it is akeady budget season, BOCC is not interested in gathering a lot of new <br />information. However, BOCC is going to have to fiend an operating budget and a capital <br />budget. "We will have to do something." In the past, we've had meetings with the <br />school boazds, but it's always been rushed and the opportunity for meaningful input from <br />the school boards has been relatively limited. This is a particularly challenging budget <br />yeaz, and we've been talking about fair funding for a long time. At the last joint session <br />with the three Boards, Commissioner Gordon said, I raised the possibility that we should <br />try to get this group together to try to develop some short-term solutions. <br />
