Members of the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools Board of Education received legislative updates during a meeting they attended late last week. Attachment 1-b of this agenda abstract summarizes information they received at that meeting. 2. Education Facilities Impact Fee Reports In May 2007, Orange County contracted with TischlerBise, Inc. to analyze and update the County's adopted student generation rates and education facilities impact fee levels for both school districts. TischlerBise completed its work in late 2007 and all Boards have received copies of the draft reports. By the time staff had completed its initial review of the draft, the County and the school districts were well into the time-intensive budget process that occurs each Spring and concludes at the end of June, so the reports were delayed for consideration until this time. The draft reports were sent to the School Districts for their review and comment on July 22, 2008 and comments were requested by August 22, 2008. A letter was received from Chapel Hill -Carrboro City Schools on September 8, 2008 (see Attachment 2-c). Comments have not yet been received but are expected from Orange County Schools. The draft reports were also sent to the BOCC and to the Planning Directors of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, and Mebane for their information on July 22. Student generation rates have increased in both school districts from the rates calculated in 2001. The Adopted (2001) student generation rates are as follows: Ado ted Student Generati on Rates 2001 Cha el H ill-Carrboro School s Oran a Coun Schools Elem. Middle Hi h All Grades Elem.

Some data was aggregated slightly differently for the school districts since the housing types found in each district vary (i.e., Single Family Attached /Multifamily was combined for OCS since there is minimal single family attached housing in the OCS district). 2007 Stud Student Gener ation Rates Cha el Hill-Carrboro Schools Oran a Coun Schools Elem.
