Moses Carey -2- September 4, 1990 <br />III. Is your Board receptive to pursuing the inclusion of this question on the November 6 <br />Ballot? <br />While most of our Board generally supports the special district tax, <br />the consensus of the majority of the Board Members is that we do not <br />support the inclusion of this question on the November 6 ballot. We <br />are of the opinion that we need additional information; that is, the <br />exact details as to the rate structure, the effect on other school funding (for <br />example, the Chapel Hill district tax), and any restrictions that <br />might be placed on the utilization of funds derived (supplanting) <br />from a special district tax. Also, there is not enough time between <br />now and November 6 to effectively inform the public of the specifics <br />of a special district tax and the long -range educational effects. We would <br />recommend that an extensive public educational campaign be developed <br />to include dialogue between both school boards and the Commissioners, <br />and input from the public prior to any vote. It might be well to con- <br />sider planning now for a referendum to be held in the spring for a <br />special district tax. <br />Yours truly, <br />C144)_ <br />�L <br />Ralph Warren, Chairman <br />Orange County Board of Education <br />/ha <br />
