34 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Page 111 Coordinator of Purchasing and Procurement would add an additional level of review and management of the District's purchasing practices. It would also relieve a bottleneck effect that currently exists in the purchasing process with the Finance Officer serving as the only gatekeeper for the District's purchases. For the total cost of salary and benefits, this position would cost $80,000. Virtual Academy (Recurring) $305,000 (Strategic Plan Goals: Student Success) The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School District is committed to providing quality, innovative and flexible learning environments to meet the individual needs of all students. CHCCS is exploring the possibility of establishing a High School (grades 9-12) Virtual Learning Academy for the 2021-22 school year. The Academy would operate as a separate school, with a dedicated principal and staff. Students would have the option to engage in the following personalized virtual settings: • Remote Learning with a CHCCS teacher via live instruction and asynchronous (independent) learning. • North Carolina Virtual School (NCVPS): Facilitated by state certified NCVPS teachers, this choice provides CHCCS students with over 150 online course options, including Math, Science, English, Social Studies, electives and Advanced Placement classes, that may not be available within the CHCCS virtual course catalog. • APEX Learning Credit Recovery: Facilitated by CHCCS teachers, this choice provides CHCCS students with the opportunity to recover high school credits for courses that may not have been initially completed with a passing grade. • Flex Setting: A combination of the above settings. The CHCCS Virtual Learning Academy will be structured to serve diverse student populations and those with unique educational, social, and emotional needs. Students who choose to apply to the CHCCS Virtual Learning Academy will still have the option to participate in athletics and extracurricular activities at their home school. Moving forward, the plan would be to expand the Academy to include middle school students in year two, and possibly upper elementary students in year three. Expansion Requests Summary The Expansion Budget totals $2,974,000. The District feels that each item included in the request addresses critical challenges facing the District in the wake of the pandemic. Filling the learning gaps created by the extended remote learning period, providing the tools necessary to accelerate student growth so that our students have what they need to be successful is vital to our work. Maximizing efficiency in the operations of the District is also vital to the long-term sustainability of our student's success. Our Expansion Budget aligns with the Strategic Plan in each of these ways. 00 Chapel Hill—Carrboro City Schools—FY 2021-22 Recommended Budget empower inspire
