'r- <br />1 5. <br />DESIGN <br />The selection of architects and educational planners will be the <br />responsibility of the Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools. An educational <br />specification committee will be formed to provide direction to the architects <br />regarding the design of the facility. This committee will consist primarily <br />of CHCCS staff members with appropriate community representation. Meetings <br />will be open to OCS staff members to attend, listen to the discussions, and <br />provide the committee with their reactions; however, OCS representatives will <br />not be formal members of the committee. <br />ENROLLMENT <br />The superintendents will convene a committee to discuss program <br />collaboration between the two school districts once a new superintendent has <br />been appointed for the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools. Discussions in <br />which the committee engages could extend beyond the programs which would be <br />offered at the new high school. At this time it might be best to leave <br />membership undefined because it could change depending upon the specific <br />program areas being discussed. The superintendents could agree at a later <br />date upon the appropriate membership with the understanding that both <br />districts would be equally represented. It is important, however, for this <br />committee to meet initially to determine the districts' receptivity to <br />allowing OCS students to enroll in the CHCCS district once the new high <br />school is constructed. Recommendations might need to be made by the <br />superintendents to their respective boards. <br />TIMETABLE <br />After reviewing the feasibility of opening a new high school in 1995- <br />96, the Non - Binding School Task Force concluded that the high school could <br />not open until August, 1996.
