<br />April 8, 2019 <br />TO: Ms. Bonnie B. Hammersley <br /> Orange County Manager <br /> <br />FROM: Ms. Jennifer S. Bennett <br /> Assistant Superintendent, Business & Financial Services <br /> <br />RE: 2019-2020 Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Budget Request <br /> <br />The Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) Board of Education is submitting its 2019-2020 Budget <br />Request documents to you for the Orange County Board of Commissioners consideration. The district <br />is requesting $5,530,872 for the next school year, of which $3,598,872 (65%) is for continuation <br />funding to cover normal operations and the State’s anticipated salary & benefit increases. The other <br />component is $1,932,000 of expansion items that would provide the Board with critical recurring <br />resources to help sustain important programs for our students as well as an additional benefit item for <br />our employees. <br /> <br />The official action taken by the CHCCS Board is below and includes the appropriate authorization for <br />the County Commissioners to increase the district tax, if needed, to fully fund their request: <br /> <br />Be it, therefore, resolved that the Board of Education approves the prepared budget request <br />and attached document and directs the Superintendent to submit its budget request to the <br />Board of County Commissioners. Be it further resolved, the Board also authorizes the Orange <br />County Manager and the Orange County Board of Commissioners to the increase of the district <br />tax by $0.0470 per $100 property valuation (up to a total assessment of $0.2488 per $100 of <br />property valuation), as needed, to fully fund our budget request. <br /> <br />We are prepared to provide details and answer any questions related to the request at the scheduled <br />meeting on April 23, 2019. Please let me know what additional materials you may need for that <br />meeting or if you have any questions. <br /> <br /> <br />c Gary Donaldson, County Chief Financial Officer <br /> Paul Laughton, County Deputy Finance & Admin Svcs <br /> <br />Attachment: 2019-2020 CHCCS Board of Education Budget Request <br />
