Local Per Pupil Funding/Operational Funding: Current Expense Local current expense funding supplements State and Federal funds received by each district for the operation of the schools. North Carolina law requires boards of county commissioners to provide equal per pupil appropriations to each system in counties that have more than one school administrative unit, as is the case in Orange County. It is important to note that the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School system also receives proceeds from a special district tax approved many years ago by the voters of that district. At this time, the Orange County School system does not have a similar taxing authority. The approved fiscal year 2020-21 budget provides $4,367 per student for each of the 20,383 students in the two school systems. This represents a $14.75 per pupil increase from the $4,352.25 per pupil approved for fiscal year 2019-20. • Current Expense Funding for the Orange County Schools The approved budget increases the current year funding level by $216,050 and brings the total appropriation in current expense funding to $35,617,252. • Current Expense Funding for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools The approved budget decreases the current year funding level by$24,209 and brings the total current expense funding for the District to $53,395,309.
