2 <br /> review them first, and will then work with the schools' staff. She said this will be brought back <br /> to all of the boards in the fall. <br /> 2) Presentation of Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools and Orange County Schools <br /> Boards of Education Approved FY2016-17 Budgets <br /> Tom Forcella said this is a joint presentation, and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools <br /> (CHCCS) will speak first. <br /> Tom Forcella said the needs of both school districts were studied closely, and it was <br /> found that the needs are similar. He thanked both Boards of Education for a willingness to try <br /> something different this year and for engaging in conversation prior to this meeting. <br /> Tom Forcella recognized Durham Tech leaders, noting the efforts made by all to find <br /> ways for the schools to partner with Durham Tech. <br /> Tom Forcella said each superintendent will present an overall perspective, and then <br /> staff will make a collaborative presentation regarding each district's budget. <br /> Tom Forcella said the CHCCS budget request focuses mainly on teacher salaries and <br /> keeping the local supplement competitive. He said the CHCCS teacher turnover rate is about <br /> 18%, and the Board of Education (BOE) prioritized a teacher supplement increase prior to any <br /> other budget request. He said the BOE determined this prioritization was needed to be able to <br /> compete for teachers in this region. <br /> Tom Forcella said Project Advance will not affect this particular budget; but going <br /> forward, teacher compensation would be determined by professional growth instead of years <br /> of service. <br /> Tom Forcella said the Board will see that CHCCS has worked closely with the Orange <br /> County Schools (OCS) on these budget requests. <br /> Todd Wirt said the districts have worked together collaboratively on these proposed <br /> budgets, and the OCS budget supports their strategic plan. <br /> Pam Jones and Todd LoFrese made the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOLS <br /> CHAPEL HILL-CARRBORO CITY SCHOOLS <br /> Pam Jones presented this portion of the presentation: <br /> OCS 2016-17 Budget Request <br /> FY17 Student Enrollment Projection <br /> • FY17 District Enrollment Projection: 7,981 <br /> — Includes DPI ADM projection of 7,551 (kids in seat) <br /> — Includes 519 charter students based on FY 2016 actual (additional) <br /> — Out-of-district students reduction (currently 89) <br /> • Revenue at current per pupil: $29,509,748 <br /> Total Continuation and Expansion Request <br /> • Continuation: $1,886,240 <br /> • FY2016 Per Pupil = $3,697.50 <br /> • Per Pupil required to fund continuation only is $3,851 <br /> • An additional $153 per pupil required continuation only <br /> • Expansion (Supplements): $1,900,000 <br /> • Total additional funds requested: $3,786,240 <br />
