H[APEL ~IILL- <br />~~~~oR <br />~~N <br />'":~'°~' CITY SCHOOLS <br />To: Dr, Neil Pedersen <br />Superintendent <br />From: Sherri Martin <br />Director of Secondary Educational Programming <br />Subject: Status of Middle College <br />Date: .Tune 14, 2006 <br />3 <br />The Chapel Hill-Caaboro City Schools currently has eight students enrolled in the Middle <br />College High School at Durham Technical Community College and twelve additional students <br />whe have submitted applications for next school yeaz. Dr. Charles Nolan, the principal of the <br />Middle College, has received twenty-two applications from Durham Public Schools and nine <br />applications from Orange County Schools. <br />This year Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools spent $2366.00 to transport students to Durham <br />Tech. We purchased thirty-day bus passes from the Triangle Transit Authority, which costs <br />$2.13/day for each student, Providing school bus transportation would cost the district $147.50 <br />per day. The district would need to have thirty-six students riding the bus in order to make <br />school bus transportation more reasonably priced than the Triangle Transit Authority bus <br />transportation, <br />The Durham Public School System is projecting an enrollment of 77 students at the Middle <br />College for the 2006-07 school year, The state will fund 2.7 teachers, In 2005-06, the state <br />approved a waiver for the Middle College High School principal position, It is unknown if this <br />waiver will be approved for the 2006-07 school year, I have not been able to determine if state <br />funds would pay for the counselor and clerical positions. Based on the information I have, <br />Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools would be responsible for 25% of 1.3 teaching positions, <br />totaling $18,250, 1 counselor, totaling $13,750, 1 clerical position, totaling $9816, and 1 <br />administrator, totaling $22,551. <br />In addition to personnel, Durham Public Schools billed Chapel Hil] Carrboro City Schools for <br />staff development, substitute teachers, supplies, equipment, and longevity pay in 2005-06, <br />Equipment was aone-time cost. Based on 2005-06 expenditures, we project our share of the <br />other cost to be $12,500. Our shaze of the total projected cost for Middle College High School <br />during 2006-07 is $76,867. My understanding is that $75,000 is budgeted for 2006-07. <br />Lincoln Cenler, 750 5 Merritt Mill Road • Chapel Hill, NC 27516-2878 • (919) 967-6211 • www chccs k12 nc us <br />
