<br /> Recurring Capital
<br /> Recurring capital for both School districts remains the same as the prior year appropriation of $3
<br /> million dollars. The budget for FY 2021-22 includes $1,810,800 for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
<br /> Schools and $1,189,200 for Orange County Schools. For FY 2021-22, as was the case in FY
<br /> 2020-21, debt financing will be utilized, instead of pay-as-you-go funding for Recurring capital.
<br /> Recurring capital pays for facility improvements, equipment, furnishings, and vehicle and bus
<br /> purchases. State statutes mandate counties to fund recurring capital. However, the amount of
<br /> money counties allocate to this function is discretionary and varies from county to county.
<br /> Long Range Capital
<br /> The County plans and programs long-range school capital funding through the County's Capital
<br /> Investment Plan (CIP). The recommended CIP budget for FY 2021-22 includes $2,519,560 for
<br /> Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools and $1,654,662 for Orange County Schools, for a total of
<br /> $4,174,222, which represents an increase of$81,847 from FY 2020-21. A 2% annual growth rate
<br /> is included throughout the years of the CIP related to Long Range Capital. For FY 2021-22, as
<br /> was the case in FY 2020-21, debt financing will be utilized, instead of pay-as-you-go funds for
<br /> Long Range Capital projects. Similar to Local Current Expense funding, the amount of money
<br /> counties allocate to long-range capital expenditures is discretionary and varies from county to
<br /> county.
<br /> School Debt Service
<br /> The recommended budget provides for $23,738,246 in School Related Debt Service, which
<br /> represents repayment of principal and interest on School related debt, including general obligation
<br /> bonds and private placement loans. This is an increase of $5,440,689 from FY 2020-21. North
<br /> Carolina statutes require counties to pay for school related capital items, such as acquisition and
<br /> construction of facilities. In instances where counties borrow funds to pay for such items, the State
<br /> mandates counties to repay the debt. The amount of money counties borrow for school related
<br /> projects is discretionary and varies from county to county.
<br /> Health and Safety Service Contracts
<br /> The recommended budget includes $3,629,597 for the Health and Safety Service Contracts for
<br /> both school districts to cover the costs of School Resource Officers in every middle and high
<br /> school, and a School Health Nurse in every elementary, middle, and high school in both school
<br /> systems. This represents the same amount of funding as in FY 2020-21.
