CHCCS have pursued a <br />commitment to purchase a 39.51 acre tract on Old <br />Fayetteville Road in Carrboro for $900,000, contingent <br />upon successful passage of a school bond during the <br />scheduled November 1992 referendum. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The North Carolina General Statutes require that the <br />Board of Education of a school unit must secure the <br />approval of the Board of County Commissioners 'gas to <br />the amount to be spent for the site" before purchasing <br />a piece of land upon which to construct a school. The <br />Chair of the Chapel Hill - Carrboro Board of Education, <br />acting on behalf of that Board, has requested approval <br />of the Orange County Board of Commissioners to <br />purchase this site. <br />The Manager recommends that the Board approve the <br />amount to be spent by the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City <br />Schools for this 39.51 acre tract, subject to voter <br />approval of the scheduled November 1992 school bond <br />referendum. <br />
