exotics, thus reducing the need for irrigation. This is found in section 3 1, Water ~ I Efficient Landscaping, of Board Policy 9040.. Support Services recommends acceptance of this provision. 5. Shared Use Standards, The shared use standards are a combination of Policy 9040 and the Board's August 4, 200.3 Smart Growth Definitions that were shared with the County Commissioners. The BOCC has added a "vita track, cross country course designed to increase enviromnental awareness" to the list of shared use facilities.. The auditorium, meeting rooms, and multi-purpose rooms were already included in Board Policy. Support Services recommends acceptance of this provision, 6. CHCCS High Performance Standards. Asserts that the building and site must comply with Board Policy 9040, The Districts efforts in the area are widely noted, but tIre cost factors of a high performance building must be considered.

Where possible, an estimated price for that subsection is included in the description.. a.

This shuttle could also include after school activities, It should be noted that any bus used as a shuttle and that has any other passenger stops along the way must be an orange bus, That bus cannot be used for a shuttle to athletic events or used for field trips. If the bus is purchased as an activity bus (white), then the bus can have no other passenger stops except in the park and ride lot and the school parking lot. Any shuttle would need to be continuous as students and teachers leave the campus on a regular basis. For the District to provide this shuttle, the following cost estimate would apply, The estimate is based on the Carrboro Plaza Park and Ride location only, a six mile round trip, operating for 220 school days and using average driver pay with benefits. i.
