It has been suggested that a logical location for <br /> this school would be the southern part of Chapel Hill, since our two existing high schools <br /> are on the northern edge of Chapel Hill. <br /> We believe that it would be productive for representatives of the Chapel Hill Town <br /> Council, School Board, and Board of County Commissioners to come together and <br /> discuss this issue. As a first step in the process, I will invite you to join me in exploring <br /> how such conversations might proceed. A member of our staff will arrange a telephone <br /> conference for this purpose. I look forward to talking with you soon. <br /> T i' ly, <br /> n C.
