Education: Orange County supports two school units, the Orange County school system and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school system. This category includes appropriations made to the designated school system for Recurring Capital items. Recurring Capital funds are used for general maintenance, purchase of new equipment/fumishingsond vehicle maintenance. Non-Departmental: Contributions to agencies providing cultural and social services outside the formal structure of county govemment. Other expenditures include equipment replacement and contingency funds. Although there are no employees generated by this category, it has been included as an operating expenditure. It will be included in Section 4, 'Total Annual County Expenditure." These expenditures will be calculated on a per capita basis as opposed to a per employee basis. Per Student Expenditures: Information regarding expenditures required to provide educational services and revenues received are based on the approved school system budgets for the fiscal year in which the project is considered for approval. All information derived from the approved budgets remains constant throughout a fiscal year (July-June) and is changed only with the approval of new budgets. Expenditure information is compiled on a per student basis for County Govemment Current Expense, School District and State appropriations. County Govemment Current Expense funds are used for general operation purposes including Instruction and Support Services. Federal revenues and- expenditures and other local revenues such as Fund Balance have not been included since they are not directly growth related. Per student figures are derived by dividing the total appropriation for educational purposes from a particular source by the estimated number of students to be enrolled in the applicable school system for the year in which the project is considered for approval. Student enrollments are obtained from the approved school system budgets. County Government: Expenditures in this category are based on appropriations to the school systems by Orange County for Current Expense. The minimum level of per student appropriation is determined by the State Board of Education. School District: Expenditures in this category are unique to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school system and are based on the level of expenditures possible through assessment of a supplementary school tax. State: Expenditures in this category are based on appropriations from the State Board of Education. School District Per Employee Expenditure: Expenditures per employee based on County, School District and State appropriations, and the total number of school district employees. Employees Per 1000 Population: The number of employees in a particular service category per 1000 population.
