BACKGROUND: On January 11, 1992 the Board of Commissioners met with the two school boards to discuss a school bond referendum. As part of that process elected officials responded to a survey of their concerns, and the results were distributed at the meeting. In addition, background information concerning proposed bond projects for the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools was distributed. Furthermore, during the four hour discussion a number of issues were discussed and various concerns were voiced by members of-both school boards. A second four -hour meeting is scheduled for January 18, 1992. The Board of Commissioners must decide at its February 3 meeting whether or not to schedule a bond referendum in May. Therefore it would be desirable on January 21 to address issues raised in the January 11 meeting but not resolved in the January 18 meeting, if the issues are crucial to the February 3 decision. RECOMMENDATION(S): Assess the results of the January 11 and January 18 meetings with the two school boards to determine the status of the bond referendum being considered for 1992. Discuss and attempt to resolve any issues which can be addressed on January 21, in order to prepare for the, bond referendum decision which will be made on February 3.
