Rani Dasi said, from a financial perspective, this benefit is more for the support of staff; <br /> coming back earlier has an impact on their lives, the schools, and the community. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said Orange County Schools is asking for a $273 per pupil <br /> increase, and Chapel Hill is requesting $485 per pupil. He asked if OCS could provide an <br /> update on its bond projects, as well as the former charter school property that OCS purchased. <br /> Dr. Todd Wirt referred to the Meadowlands facility, and said the front building has been <br /> through the full RFP process, and OCS will be working with Corley Redfoot on a one-stop <br /> facility. He said it is hoped that staff can move into the front building by the fall. He said the <br /> bottom level will house curriculum and instruction staff. He said the building is expected to be <br /> well within the budget. <br /> Dr. Todd Wirt said there is a proposal to move the Partnership Academy to the back <br /> building to free up space to serve middle school students, and look at possible partnerships for <br /> Boomerang and a day treatment center. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if there is a timeline for the second phase. <br /> Dr. Todd Wirt said they hope to get into the front building this fall, and the back building <br /> needs a significant parking increase. <br /> Staff said a big bond project is the geothermal installation at Orange High School, and <br /> the 450-foot deep ports have been insulated. She said insulation of the piping is being finished, <br /> and old HVAC is being torn out. She said other projects include HVAC and mechanical <br /> upgrades, as well as major roof projects. She said the Cedar Ridge expansion hopes to break <br /> ground before July 1. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said the system's targeted recruitment for teachers of color is <br /> encouraging, and asked if there a similar targeted recruitment in the Chapel Hill system. <br /> Dr. Pam Baldwin said yes, and diversity has greatly increased. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin referred to the Orange County Schools redistricting process, and <br /> the timeline. He asked if this will have an impact on class sizes. <br /> Dr. Todd Wirt said there have been several board retreats to determine priorities. He <br /> said the main effort is to balance student achievement, and there is a public facing website that <br /> shows the timeline. He said there has been a very diverse parent-advisory council involved, <br /> which has been wonderful. He said there will be public forums around this topic, and the goal is <br /> for the board to approve a new student reassignment plan by this fall, but it must be approved <br /> by January 2020. He said the plan would be affective for the 2020-2021 school year. <br /> Will Atherton said he would like to get feedback from Board of County Commissioners <br /> regarding capital projects. He said at least one facility has escalated in the amount of repairs <br /> needed ($21 million), and SAPFO does not account for this. He said a new school costs about <br /> $26 million. He said SAPFO also does not account for Pre-K requirements. He said in the spirit <br /> of collaboration, he wants to make the BOCC aware of their concerns, and need guidance to try <br /> to figure out how to accommodate these goals. He wants it to be on everyone's radar, and does <br /> not want to spend money on a school that cannot be turned around. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said that SAPFO does not address this issue, as it is only a tool for <br /> capacity. She said other school needs would have to go through the capital investment plan <br /> process. <br /> Will Atherton asked if this would also be true with the Pre-K issue. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said that there is a committee working on a report for solutions, <br /> which is needed before an assessment can be done. She said the issue is that the pre-K is <br /> taking up space that is not accounted for in SAPFO, so the Board of County Commissioners will <br /> await the report that should address this. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if SAPFO formula can be changed. <br /> Chair Broun said to wait for the committee report, and much background is needed as to <br /> what the schools are required to do. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said he just wants to know the universe of options. <br />
