4 <br />Amendments <br />Over the past eight months, these two documents were amended from the earlier drafts of the <br />Schools and Land Use Councils (SLUG) (November 14, 2001 approval and February 8, 2002 <br />transmittal) and the School Facilities Task Force (BETE). The amendments, drafted to address <br />comments from various public hearings, are summarized below. <br />Some recent comments that were previously addendums are now incorporated into the <br />Memorandum of Understanding or were resolved by a previously sent letter of explanation (i.e., <br />long range school CIP commitments letter of April 29, 2003). Certain changes affect both <br />district's MOU's and some are specific to the district. <br />1. Permit a more extensive review process when evaluating updated School APFO <br />elements each year (both district MOU's). <br />2. Additional emphasis on CIP development (both district's MOUs). <br />3. `Suspension' of adequacy test (for Certificate of Adequate Public Schools [CAPS]) at <br />Orange County Middle School level until new Middle School opens (GIP planned for <br />2005-06) (Orange County School District only). <br />4. `Suspension' of adequacy test (for Certificate of Adequate Public Schools (CAPS]) at <br />Chapel Hill/Carrboro High School level until new High School opens (GIP planned for <br />2006-07) (Chapel Hill/Carrboro School District only). <br />5.
