29 <br /> <br />The District's funding desire is to help sustain our upward trends in student performance by <br />continuing to empower, inspire, and engage EVERY student and staff members through our <br />instructional programs, and services. <br /> <br />The total Local Operating Budget increase of $8,358,500 would help us significantly to continue <br />our vital work through sustaining operations with continuation funds of $3,716,000 and to <br />continue pushing for growth with expansion funds of $4,642,500. This would ensure we can <br />keep our programs and schools moving forward. <br /> <br />Our estimates for other revenue changes indicate a revenue increase of $225,000 for next year. <br />After accounting for these revenue increases and a $1,968,500 fund balance appropriation, the <br />total continuation and expansion budget request is $6,165,000 or 5.37 cents on the tax rate. <br />This would correlate to an increase of about $501 per pupil, based on NCDPI's estimated <br />enrollment level for 2020-2021. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner McKee to adjourn the meeting at 10:24 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Penny Rich, Chair <br /> <br /> <br />Donna S.
