The funds appropriated for <br /> fiscal year 2001-2002 were to support one additional full-time nurse in Orange County Schools <br /> and two additional full-time nurses in Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools and their associated <br /> operating expenses. These funds were authorized for a partial rather than a full year due to <br /> budgetary constraints. <br /> The budget approved for the current year holds the number of nurses in each system funded <br /> under this agreement to the same level as FY 2001-2002. However, funding for the entire 10 <br /> month school year is included for all three positions. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total cost of the agreements is $162,215 and was authorized in the <br /> approved budget for FY 2002-2003. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the agreements <br /> and authorize the Chair to sign. <br />
