listed some additions to our supplement program and one new <br />position as "funding equity ". The County could choose to fund <br />this item if they want to begin to reduce the funding imbalance <br />between our system and the Chapel Hill- Carrboro School System. <br />Our current expense fund total request from the County equals <br />$6,507,346 up from $5,361,104 last year. <br />Our request for County dollars in recurring capital outlay <br />is for $944,766. This amount exceeds the recent allotments of <br />$750,000 each year which was recommended by the County- appointed <br />Capital Needs Task Force in 1984. However, the task force also <br />stated that the amount should be increased along with inflation <br />each year to maintain our facilities at an acceptable level. If <br />this had been done with inflation at 3 1/2% each year, we would <br />now be receiving $954,205. <br />In summary, we look forward to the challenge of providing a <br />continued high quality educational program in safe, comfortable <br />and pleasant school buildings. This budget proposal is our <br />statement of our systems continued commitment to provide the best <br />educational program available to our students. <br />
