Chairman Bennett recognized Mra. Mary Serogga, Chairman of the Chapel Hfll
School Board, nr. Robert Hanes, Superintendent of that school unit and a
delegation from the Chapel Hill School area.
Mra. Sarogga advised the Board that the Chapel Hill Schval Board had, at
a previous budget meeting, misunderstood the proposed appxopriationa for
Current Expense when the me.tter had been reviewed by the Board and the Chapel
Hill Sohool Unit. She stated that the Chapel Hill School Board had understood
that the Board of Commissioners would allocate to the unit $651y,160 for
Current Expenses and that in addition the Chapel Hill School Unit would receive
approximately $60,000 which had bean carried over from the previous gear.
Chairman Scruggs stated that the School Board felt this money could be used to
present a reasonable academic pro~am, however, if their 1972-1973 budget
appropriation amounted to, only, 651y,160 it would be necessary to delete the
reading programs in the first three grammar grades.
Several members oP the delegation spoke in support of the reading program
and stated that they would be willing to pay additional district or oounty taxes
in order to finanoe the program.
Chairman Bennett requested the County Acoount to make a report on the
latest revenue projections.
The County Accountant reported that without a increase in the proposed
tax rate an increased appropriation of between $60,000 and $75,000 could be
made. That these increased appropriations were made possible because oY
previous budget cuts made by the Commissioners.
Discussion ensued. Commissioner Ira A. Ward suggested the overall budget
be increased by $75,000. Of this sum $25,000 would be put into the Seven M31e
Creek reservoir fund aad the remaining $50,000 be put into the School Current
Expense fund. This increased appropriation for School Current Expense should
allow eaoh school unit to receive including carry-over from the previous
fiscal year roughly $135.00 per student.
The Board concurred with Commissioner Ward~a suggestion.
