<br />Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools <br />Lincoln Center, 750 S. Merritt Mill Road <br />Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27516-2881 <br />The Board of Education <br />Telephone: (919)967-8211 Ext. 226 <br />FAX: (919) 933-4560 <br />Neil G. Pedersen <br />Superintendent Valerie Foushee, Chair <br />Board of Education <br />April 11, 2003 <br />John Link, Manager <br />Orange County <br />200 South Cameron Street <br />Post Office Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />Dear Mr. Link, <br />Included is our response to your March 21, 2003 memorandum requesting information regarding our <br />recurring capital program. There are two spreadsheets attached for your review. <br />The first spreadsheet provides documentation on the use of funds from recurring capital for the past five <br />years. The project descriptors are those used by the county to avoid any confusion. The second <br />spreadsheet details those projects that have been eliminated or reduced due to the decrease in funding. <br />This list also places those projects in priority order that we would like to complete. <br />The projects listed in bold are particularly important to the district and have a major impact on the safety, <br />health and environment that our students and staff study and work in. The boiler at Chapel Hill High School <br />is not only inefficient but also difficult to maintain. Constant problems result in learning environments that <br />are cold and damp. Funding for this project now would allow for summer replacement. The carpet removal <br />and file replacement at Frank Porter Graham is an issue of indoor air quality. Our funding has paid for <br />remediation of ducts, air handling units, and mold and mildew removal. Funding for the carpet project would <br />complete our efforts there. Finally, several of our schools are not equipped with hot water in the classrooms. <br />As hand washing becomes more critical in the fight against childhood illness, having hot water should be <br />considered a sanitation issue. <br />While these projects would be our priority, other items on the list deserve consideration. Our aging fleet of <br />maintenance vehicles is becoming increasingly expensive to operate. Constant repairs are hampering our <br />efforts to provide quick responses to school maintenance requests. You will also note the need to replace <br />refrigerator units at our older schools. The average age of these units exceeds 35 years and maintenance is <br />becoming more difficult and expensive. <br />We hope this is an adequate response to your request and will be happy to provide any additional <br />information that you may require. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ <br />Neil Pede n <br />Cc: S ve Scroggs <br />~od Visser <br />
