Pre- K information- Orange County INFORMATION CONTACT: Schools and Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools Clarence Grier, 919 - 245 -2453 B. County FY2012 -13 SAPFO Student Projections C. Legislative Information Provided by Orange County Schools D. County Debt Service and Debt Capacity - Culbreth Science Wing, Scenario 1 and 2 PURPOSE: To provide information on several state and local issues involving Pre -K, legislative issues and issuing debt related for the Culbreth Science Wing for Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools. BACKGROUND: During the April County /Schools Collaboration Work Group Meeting, issues involving Pre -K, SAPFO, and the current legislative agenda were discussed with a follow -up to be provided during the April 25, 2013 County budget work session. Pre -K and SAPFO Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools will present information on Pre -K classroom sizes and the related impacts of the Pre -K students in relations to the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance ( SAPFO). Legislative Issues and Updates Information will be provided and the opportunity to discuss the recent developments and bills of the NC General Assembly that will have an impact on education and educational funding in Orange County. 2 Culbreth Middle School Science Wing During its April 11, 2013 work session discussion on the FY 2013 -18 Capital Investment Plan (CIP), the Board of County Commissioners requested staff to provide possible debt funding scenario impacts of funding the Culbreth Middle School Science Wing Addition. The Chapel Hill- Canrboro City Schools included this project, totaling $4,971,676, in their Unfunded New School /Facilities section of their FY 2013 -18 CIP request. Attachment 1 represents Scenario #1, which adds the Science Wing to the County Debt Service calculations beginning in FY 2013 -14. This would increase the Debt Service as a percentage of the General Fund Budget to 15.89% in FY 2017 -18 ($1,739,060 over the Debt Capacity). In looking ahead to FY 2018 -19 (Year 6 of the CIP), if all other projects in the CIP remain the same, the percentage would increase to 17.58 %, and would be $5,124,940 over the Debt Capacity. Attachment 2 represents Scenario #2, which adds the Science Wing and Delays the need to open Middle School #5 by two (2) years to the County Debt Service calculations. This would decrease the Debt Service as a percentage of the General Fund Budget to 14.23% in FY 2017- 18 (leaving $1,497,483 in Available Debt Service Capacity). However, in looking ahead to FY 2018 -19 (Year 6 of the CIP), if all other projects in the CIP remain the same, the percentage would increase to 16.03 %, and would be $2,053,303 over the Debt Capacity. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact related to receiving this information. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Boards of the respective governing bodies discuss the information and provide feedback to their individual staffs.

Revised April 2013 0 HAPEL HILL ARRBORO ,C "tl` C ITY SC H 00 LS Date: April 15, 2013 To: Frank Clifton, Orange County Manager From: Todd LoFrese, Assistant Superintendent for Support Services Re: Pre -K Program Space Overview Attached is a spreadsheet overview of the Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools Pre -K Program. This is for sharing purposes for the discussion at the April 25 Joint Boards Meeting. Included on the spreadsheet are details with respect to the number and types of classrooms at each of our elementary schools. Information about the program structure, funding sources, enrollment levels, classroom type, and staffing are included. At the bottom of the spreadsheet is a capacity analysis with respect to the impact Pre -K students have on the district elementary level capacity. The analysis is included below for convenience purposes. In total the district will have 19 Pre -K classrooms next year. Of the 19 classrooms, 12 are in located within the school and 7 are located in mobile classrooms. Our newer elementary schools are designed and "constructed" with one Pre -K classroom. Therefore a total of five schools with a "constructed" Pre -K classroom exist in the district. The remaining 14 classrooms have to be absorbed into our existing school capacities. The impact of this results in the loss of seats that could otherwise be utilized for elementary purposes. The problem is exacerbated as our other 6 schools not only do not have a "constructed" Pre -K classroom, but they are also below standard (fewer number and smaller sizes) for classroom, support, administrative, and other core spaces. For SAPFO calculations we utilize a 1:21 ratio which equates to an equivalent loss of capacity of 294 students across our elementary schools. Staff will be available to answer questions at the meeting next week. 2013 -14 CHCCS Pre -K Classrooms and SAPFO In buildings 12 classrooms In mobiles 7 classrooms Total classrooms 19 classrooms Less "Constructed" Pre -K Rooms 5 classrooms Net absorbed Classrooms 14 classrooms Lost Capacity @ 1:24 336 students Lost Capacity @ 1:21 294 students Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools 5 2012-2013 PRE-KINDERGARTEN PROGRAMS AT-A-G LANCE SHE Carrhoro Ephesus E.S Hills I NP(: Gl."v McDO de Morris(:rove Itashkis s—'is Seawell LICENSING L,—,,,d Licemed Tempo )Licen.,e Regular Licemed T-purer)Lium.�e R It Inch,ire Licemed Licemed Ll ,ed Li ,ed Licen.ved S v.,tetn Level(Ell Unlium,ed� Sy.,tetn Level(EC}.U"h-,,d NB.AND'PYPEOFPREK 2Dual Len�uace 2hxlu give I Reuular PreK I Reu,,12" MC I Reuular PreK I Recular PreK I Reuular PreK 21n 1......

Teacher Contracts. Implementation of teacher career status abolition was changed from immediate implementation to a staggered implementation schedule as follows: May 1, 2013 — June 30, 2018: Current teachers who have not attained career status prior to the 2012 -13 school year may not attain it during the 2012 -13 school year and shall be employed through 1 -year contracts (no grandfathering). July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014: Superintendents must conduct reviews of teachers employed by the LEA for at least three consecutive years and determine contract lengths of 1, 2, 3, or 4 years to be recommended to those teachers. The superintendent must recommend 25 percent of these teachers for 4 -year contracts, and the local school board must review these recommendations and accept them or select other teachers as part of the 25 percent of the district's teachers to be offered 4 -year contracts. Only teachers deemed effective as demonstrated by proficiency on their evaluation may be given the 4 -year contract, and those same teachers will receive a $500 Attachment-C 10 annual pay raise for each year of the contract. July 1, 2014: New teacher employment system without career status takes effect and applies to all teachers on contracts of I and 4 years. July 1, 2014 — June 30, 2015: Existing teacher employment system remains in effect for career status teachers not awarded 4 -year contracts, July 1, 2018: New teacher employment system with no career status applies to all teachers. Contract terms of 1, 2, 3, or 4 years will be recommended by the superintendent and subject to approval of the local school board. Other new additions to the teacher contract language include suggestions made by NCSBA that will allow school districts to better implement the new law. These provisions include: providing proper due process when a teacher is dismissed mid - contract, reinstitution of the standard of "arbitrary, capricious, discriminatory, or for personal or political reasons," appeals, and clarification of several other pieces. School Performance Grades. While changes were made to the school performance grading section, incorporation of school -wide growth remains a key omission. The approved changes added eighth grade scores in Algebra I /Integrated Math I, English lI and Biology end-of-course tests to reflect in the calculation of their school's letter grades, and clarified measures of college readiness to reflect only the math and reading components of the ACT rather than requiring that all four components count into the calculation of the high school's letter grade. Alamance- Burlington Board of Education member Jackie Cole spoke to the committee about concerns with omitting school -wide growth from the school performance grades and advocated for grandfathering teachers into the new teacher contract system. Dr. Marls Edwards, Superintendent of Mooresville Graded. Schools and the 2013 National Superintendent of the Year, also spoke to the committee about the problems with omitting school -wide growth from school performance grades. The legislation has been sent to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

HOUSE MEMBERS OFFER ALTERNATIVE PUBLIC SCHOOL REFORM BILL A bipartisan group of House members last week introduced a K -12 public education reform plan that offers a number of ideas different from those proposed in Senator Berger's Excellent Public Schools Act. House Bill 719- the Education Improvement Act of 2013, was introduced Wednesday and referred to the House Education Committee. Like the Excellent Public Schools Act HB 719 would reform teacher career status and school performance grades, except very different approaches would be taken on both issues. With regard to teacher career status, HB 719 would offer a system similar to one established in Colorado. Teachers would continue to be initially employed on probationary status for their first four years. A teacher would be automatically granted career status at the end of her fourth year if certain evaluation performance measures have been achieved during her probationary status. Teachers who have not reached specified evaluation performance measures during her four - year probationary status would be ineligible for career status and would be required continue to teaching on probationary status. Local school boards would be able to vote on granting career status to teachers who do not fall into either of the aforementioned categories. Career status teachers who do not achieve specified Attachment C 11 performance standards for two consecutive years would lose career status and would have to serve two additional years on probationary status before being eligible for career status again. All teachers who currently have career status would retain it as long as they meet the performance criteria. "It makes everyone stay on their toes from the day they step into the classroom," said Rep. Bryan Holloway (R- Stokes), one of the bill's primary sponsors. "If you do well, you're fine. If you have a bad year, you have a year to fix it," NCSBA is in the process of analyzing the teacher contract portions of the bill. HB 719 would also include language from HB 435 supported by NCSBA that incorporates a school -wide growth component into school performance grades. Another provision in HB 719 would create a task force, comprised of teachers, parents, policymakers, and administrators, to review and propose ideas on teacher merit pay and other teacher incentive issues. The task force would include one local school board member recommended by NCSBA. "We need to look at pay as a whole issue," said Rep. Rick Glazier (D- Cumberland), another primary sponsor of the bill. HB 719 also recommends expanding digital technology and out-of-the-classroom learning and changes to school improvement plans. In response to the House measure, Sen. Berger was quoted as saying, "I think what we've put in the Senate bill are things that need to be addressed in K -12 education. I think dragging our feet on some of these issues is something that's not productive in terms of improving our public schools." In addition to Reps. Holloway and Glazier, HB 719's other primary sponsors are Reps. Hugh Blackwell (R- Burke) and Larry Hall (D- Durham). The bill will be considered by the House Education Committee on Tuesday. SCHOOL SAFETY LEGISLATION The House Education Committee last week approved house Bill 452- 2013 School Safety Act, a comprehensive school safety bill crafted with input from NCSBA. The bill's provisions include the following: • Provide grants for LEAs to hire and/or train School Resource Officers. • Provide grants for LEAs to hire additional school psychologists, school counselors and social workers. • Codify the duties of a school counselor and require that they spend at least 80% of their work time providing direct services to students and designates that coordination of standardized testing does not constitute direct services to students. • Require LEAs to adopt an emergency response plan. • Require every public school to have a panic alarm system that connects with the nearest local law enforcement agency. • Require an LEA, system -wide, school safety exercise every 2 years, and require a school to hold a school safety exercise at least every year. • Require LEAs to prepare schematic diagrams of its school facilities and provide the diagrams and keys to the main entrance of all school facilities to local law enforcement agencies. Attachment C 12 • Require each LEA to develop and operate an anonymous tip line to receive information on internal and external risks to school buildings and school - related activities. • Require a school safety component as part of school improvement plans and require the superintendent to review the school safety components of the plan and make written recommendations on the plan to the LEA, • Allow specifically qualified individuals to act as volunteer School Resource Officers as approved by local law enforcement. The bill will now to go the house Appropriations Committee. SENATE BILL 337 Senator Jerry Tillman's bill to establish an independent charter school oversight body and make other changes to charter school laws passed the Senate Finance Committee last week with no changes. SB 337- NC Public Charter School Board, is expected to be heard on the Senate floor this week. SENATE BUDGET DELAY Senator Pete Brunstetter (R- Forsyth), the Senate's senior budget chairman, said last week to WRAL in Raleigh that budget subcommittees are still weeks away from beginning their work on spending plans. Sen. Brunstetter was quoted as giving an early to mid -May timeframe. Please click here to read the story. CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS ABOUT HB 443 AND SB 674 Please continue to contact your local legislative delegation members about the devastating funding impacts of Sections 2 and 1(h) of House Bill 443- NC Public Charter School Board, Click here for more information. This bill is sponsored by Reps. Mike Hager (R- Rutherford), Jon Hardister (R- Guilford), Linda Johnson (R- Cabarrus), and Edgar Starnes (R- Caldwell). Please also continue to contact your members in opposition to Senate Bill 674- Prohibit Costly Local Goveriuilent Litigation, which would abolish statutory procedures by which local school boards can contest the sufficiency of county conuriissions' local appropriations for public school operating and capital expenses. This bill has the potential to significantly alter the balance between school boards and county commissions. While historically, funding disputes typically do not reach the point of mediation and trial, the very threat of such incentivizes resolution of funding disputes. The bill also raises the question of how local boards of education will fulfill the obligation to provide an opportunity for a sound, basic education. This bill is sponsored by Senators Warren Daniel (R- Burke), Ralph Hise (R- Mitchell), and Harry Brown (R- Onslow).
