ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
RESOLUTION APPOINTING A TASK FORCE TO DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCERNING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
PARAMETERS FOR FUTURE SCHOOL FUNDING
WHEREAS, in their 1999-2000 goals the Orange County Board of Commissioners indicated
their intention to establish parameters that would guide the development of future County
budgets with regard to school funding, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners views as important the establishment of these
parameters for consideration in the FY 2000-2001 budget, in that the portion of the County's
annual General Fund budget devoted to schools has increased to more than 48% in recent
years, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners believes that it would be beneficial to receive direct
input from school elected officials as to the nature of these parameters prior to their formal
adoption by the Board of Commissioners;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Orange County Board of Commissioners
does hereby appoint the School Funding Options Task Force, to be comprised of two members
each from the Orange County Board of Commissioners, Orange County Board of Education,
and Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education, with those governing boards to designate their
own representatives, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT this task force will begin its work no later than February 1,
2000, and deliver its report to the Orange County Commissioners no later than March 1, 2000.
This, the 18`"day of January, 2000.
