BACKGROUND: At the April 3, 2006 meeting of the Collaboration Work Group, members agreed to ask Facilitator Andy Sachs of the Dispute Settlement Center to poll the members and their boards regarding topics that should be addressed at the semi - annual joint work session of the three governing boards scheduled for April 25. Based on feedback received by Mr. Sachs, he prepared the accompanying meeting plan around which this agenda has been compiled. It was agreed that Mr. Sachs will not facilitate this joint work session, which will instead be chaired by Commissioner Jacobs with support from CHCCS Chair Stuckey and OCS Chair Copeland. Attachment 1 — 4118106 Draft Meeting Plan a. School /County Collaboration Process The School /County Collaboration Work Group has been meeting regularly since 2004 to foster improved understanding and coordination among the two Boards of Education and the Board of County Commissioners on fiscal and policy matters affecting all three jurisdictions. Andy Sachs prepared a summary of major discussion points for each work group meeting since inception. That summary accompanies this abstract as a primer on Collaboration Work Group activities. Attachment 2 — Overview of Collaboration Meetings 2004 -2006 Since the beginning of 2006, the Work Group has met three times to focus on revisions that should be made to existing Orange County school construction standards. These meetings have involved primarily information gathering regarding school construction practices and guidelines, sustainability considerations, and opportunities for community use of school facilities, particularly with regard to County and municipal recreation programming. Copies of the facilitator's detailed meeting notes, as reviewed by Work Group participants, are provided as background information, Attachment 3 — 2113106 Facilitator's Meeting Notes Attachment 4 — 3120106 Facilitator's Meeting Notes Attachment 5 — 4103106 Facilitator's Meeting Notes In May 1996, the Board of Commissioners adopted school construction standards for elementary and middle schools in Orange County. High School construction standards were approved in April 1999. Two separate School Facilities Task Forces that convened in 2000 and in 2002 identified a number of issues related to both sets of standards that required clarification and or updating (e.g. baseline estimates of per square foot cost, an appropriate inflation factor, percentage of project budget that should be set aside for contingency, etc). In follow up to the 2006 information sharing meetings noted above, the Collaboration Work Group will consider the input it has received and provide direction to staff that will lead to revised school construction standards, to be drafted over the summer by staff. The target is to have proposed updates to school construction standards available for consideration by the Board of Commissioners in Fall 2006. Those revised standards may shape the discussions about capital funding that will be needed to construct the new school facilities identified in the 2006 -16 Capital Investment Plan. Relating to discussion held at the April 10 County Commissioners meeting, the BOCC requested that the County's smart growth principles be included on the April 25 joint work session. A copy of those principles, as well as a copy of the CHCCS 9040 High Performance Building Design Policy, is attached for reference, as both relate directly to school construction standards considerations. Attachment 6 - Orange County Smart Growth Attributes Attachment 7 - CHCCS Policy Code: 9040 High Performance Building Design b. School Funding and Budget Drivers All three governing boards identified matters related to school funding as an important topic to discuss at this joint work session. Time has been reserved for both Superintendents to present information about the major budget drivers affecting their recommendations for funding levels to be requested of the County by their respective boards. Attachment 8 — OCS Local Current Expense 2006 -07 Projected Budget Attachment 9 — CHCCS Superintendent's Budget Message 2006 -07 The County Manager will also present information about anticipated budget drivers for County operating and capital budgets for 2006 -07 and beyond — both school and non - school related. There are potential education budget impacts not only from elements identified specifically in the Superintendents' and Manager's recommended budgets (e.g. teacher pay increases; new school start up costs; changes in student membership; school debt service; full implementation of the BOCC's school /county capital funding policy; and funding for an impact fee update study), but also from sources beyond the control of either school system or the County. Some of these external factors have the impact of unfunded mandates. Initiatives to monitor include, but are certainly not limited to: teacher pay raises proposed by the Governor; any move to fund only one local school administrative unit in each county; student- teacher ratio and class -size reduction requirements; and possible redirection of Public School Building Fund moneys earmarked for local school construction. Attachment 10 — Emerging Funding Considerations for County's General Fund Prominent among potential budget impacts is the ongoing consideration of school funding equity. Both school staffs responded to a BOCC request that County staff work with both school systems to compile information that will be useful to the BOCC in their ongoing discussions about school equity. The Board's questions related to school nurses, social workers, school resource officers, activity buses, utility costs, and the like, including information about who pays for what. That information, as submitted by the school staffs, accompanies this agenda abstract as background information. Attachment 11— School Health and Safety Resources Attachment 12 - OCS Energy Usage by Facility Attachment 13 — CHCCS 12 Year Energy Analysis Attachment 14 — Activity Buses School Year 2005 -06 FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact tied directly to the discussion at this meeting. However, decisions that the school boards and BOCC will make at subsequent meetings are likely to have significant implications for future capital and operating budgets. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the boards discuss the issues noted and provide direction to staff, as appropriate. r a f� 4/18/06 Draft Meeting Plan .Joint Meeting of the Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill- Carrbmo City Schools Boards of Education and the Orange County Board of Commissioners Southern Human Services Center, Chapel Hill April 25, 2006 Desired Outcomes • Understanding of the accomplishments and work remaining on the agenda of the Collaboration Work Group. • Understanding of the most significant factors driving the development of each jurisdiction's 2006 -2007 budget.

Lirdc, .Jr., Neil Pedersen, Lisa Stuckey, Rod Visser (staff), Greg Wilder (staff), Andy Sachs (facilitator). New Members The group welcomed BOCC Vice Chair Steve Halkiotis and acknowledged that the City School's Vice Chair Jamezetta Bradford, although not present today because of work commitments, is also a new Collaboration Group member. John Link introduced Greg Wilder, who was recently promoted to Director of Operations in the County Manager's Office, Mr. Wilder will be attending Collaboration Group meetings because the issues under discussion are within his areas of responsibility. His participation also will ensure that the County will continue to have two staff persons with direct experience in the Collaboration Group after Mr. Link retires. School Construction Standards Mr. Visser distributed three handouts: • School Construction Standards for elementary and middle schools (approved by the BOCC on 5/16/96) High School Construction Standards (approved April 20, 1999) School Construction Standards Discussion Points (dated 2/7/06) prepared by the Superintendents and County Manager for today's meeting. Mr. Visser said that in the Schools and County staff's judgment, a comprehensive reassessment of the County's school construction standards is not necessary. Approximately 80% of the construction standards work well in practice, he said, such as the acreage and some of the square footage standards. However, the staffs recommend that some of the existing construction standards should be reassessed, such as those relating to square footage for urban sites, school capacity, construction costs, inflation, site preparation and development costs. I-Ie noted that the actual cost range for recent elementary school construction is $175 -180 per square foot, but the existing cost standard (adopted in 1996) is only $90 per square foot. As the group began its review of the staffs' Discussion Points document, Mr. Jacobs said that the State has recommendations — but not "requirements," as stated in the handout — for school acreage. Group members discussed the relationship between school construction standards and the community's use of school facilities. Mr. Hartkopf said that OCS is raising the rates it charges the community to use school facilities, and suggested that school and County policy makers might be able to find a more efficient way to allocate facility costs across County taxpayers, the school district, and the users. The group also talked about using replicabee school facility design templates in order to control design costs. Mr. Hartkopf noted that Johnston County uses a single plan for all its schools. Mr. Hallciotis replied that Jolmston County's "spartan" school designs would not be acceptable to Orange County residents. It also was noted that the design for OCS Pathways Elementary School has been replicated six times, but with no resulting reduction in blueprint costs. Mr. Hallciotis observed that architects designate in their plans how spaces in school buildings are to be used, but after a school is constructed the persormel using the building change those designations. "How can we get the human beings to buy into the model ?," he asked. He also asked why the Raslikis Elementary School design is being replicated in CHCCS's next school project. Ms. Stuckey said that the ventilation system is less noisy than other school designs. "There is no redesign needed" she said. Mr. Link said that it might be useful for the group to begin its discussion of standards by studying site identification, selection, and preparation. It is not clear which jurisdiction has ultimate responsibility for extending utilities to a site, for example, and this makes it very hard for the jurisdictions to collectively control school site infrastructure costs. Mi Link said that the Collaboration Group might then turn its attention to construction cost standards. He suggested that the group research actual school construction costs around the state. The group might then evaluate how the County's construction standards are "tiered" to accommodate community use. Dr'. Carraway added that the group should discuss a construction management protocol for the three jurisdictions. Cost savings are best identified at the design phase, she said. Mr. Hallciotis agreed. Mr. Hartkopf said that if a shared construction management function had existed between the schools and county, then construction issues relating to OCS's Gravelly Hill School might have been resolved at the staff'level, Instead, the policy makers had to be involved. Mr'. Halkiotis said that the same kind of escalation might have been avoided at Twin Creek Park. It was also suggested that the group consider standards that address infill sites, sites where water and sewer already exist, and sites that are adjacent to existing schools. Mr. .Jacobs said that a concerted effort is needed to convene the schools and local government planning directors. They should get together, identify sites for future schools, and jointly plan for their respective infrastructure needs, lie said. Even though different jurisdictions have different planning goals, lie said, people will want schools that they can walk to. "Let's reserve sites and accommodate parks and recreation needs," he said. "We seem to be opposed to adding onto high schools," Mr, Jacobs added. We don't want 2,000 - student High schools, so we probably don't need expansion space at existing or new schools. Mr. Halkiotis noted that in the past it was controversial for the County to identify future school sites. "It was like siting a landfill." We need a better process for getting people involved and engaged positively in future site selection, he said, Ms. Stuckey said that Chapel Hill needed special legislation for the authority to reserves sites, but "the developers don't litre it." Given political opposition to that kind of special legislation, what would be a practical way to secure future sites ?, she asked. Mr. Jacobs said that land banking enables counties to purchase school sites for the future, but a County would have to have the money to make the purchase. Mr. Copeland added that OCS has access to large tracts of land, but the land does not have the water and sewer infrastructure that a school would need, "So we have to achieve capacity through student assignment." Although it was suggested that new sites might be acquired through negotiations with developers, it also was noted that the County was not able to influence the Waterstone developers to provide infrastructure for schools. This is why the planning directors should be convened with the school officials, said Mr. Jacobs. The Mayors are supportive of integrating school capacity and land use planning, he said, and they can lead their boards in directing planning staff to work with the schools. Mr. Halkiotis noted that in Charlotte Mecklenburg and Cary the local governments have been effective at convincing developers to pay for schools. It was noted that the municipalities' development regulations — the amenities required by the Towns -- add significantly to the cost of building schools. Town requirements added approximately $1 5 million to the cost of Rock Haven school, for example. Mr. Copeland asked if there was a standard assumption for how long a school building is expected to last. Dr. Pedersen said that 50 years has been a rule of thumb, although CHCCS has three schools approaching that age and the district has no thought of getting out of those buildings. "We're spending enough on upgrades and maintenance to expect our schools to last sixty or seventy years," he said. Ms Stuckey said that the City district has a "decade -by- decade" plan to keep its schools upgraded, including schedules for maintaining and replacing HVAC systems, windows, and bathrooms, etc. Dr. Caraway said that OCS has a similar plan for maintaining its physical plant. She added that within OCS, school obsolescence would generally come from a state determination following a comprehensive facilities inspection, as opposed to a local decision. Mr. Link said that in general an existing school will be maintained as long as a need for school capacity exists in an area For example, he said, Southside Elementary in Durham was abandoned because non- residential growth in the area around the school displaced the neighborhood. Mr. Copeland said that Orange County residents appreciate the look and history of its older schools, and so are willing to maintain their buildings. Mr. Hartkopf added that policies relating to school construction should not address new buildings only, but also should address keeping the existing physical plant "viable and fresh." Mr'. Hartkopf said that this group's reassessment of school construction standards should consider stonnwater protection methods that set practical goals and are protective of local watersheds. A school building that collects rainwater, for example, might be "credited" under a local government's impervious surface rules. OCS might be able to "get more mileage" out of Efland Cheeks with innovative stonnwater management, he said. Ms. 3 Stuckey said that CHCCS is collecting rainwater at one of its schools, so the stormwater impact of the school is less than one with a smaller footprint. Other group members added that school parking lot surfaces could be made fiom porous materials. After noting that some UNC Chapel Hill campus buildings have been designed to generate no stormwater runoff; the group agreed to invite the campus's Sustainability Coordinator, Cindy Shea, to give a presentation to the group. It also was noted that the City schools district is required to pay a stormwater utility fee to the Town of Chapel Hill, and that perhaps in conversations between the school districts and the municipalities the question might be raised as to wily a public school district should "pay a municipal tax." Mr. Copeland said that OCS is not likely to need any new school facilities over the next 8 -10 years, Mr. Hartkopf added that even if Mebane continues to grow, OCS could manage school capacity through redistricting. However, said Mr. Copeland, OCS has an interest in reassessing school construction standards from a fiscal perspective. "It all comes back to the taxpayer's pocketbook," he said. Mr. Hartkopf said that some County residents have a "Taj Mahal, mother of pearl" image of CHCCS facilities. It is better to have some basic standards, in order to clear up the misperceptions, he said. Mr. Copeland added that some OCS Board members compare their schools with the schools in the CHCCS in order to evaluate the fairness of the County's treatment of the two districts. They note what was cut from Gravelley Hill because of an $18 million limit. The perception is that "all our money is going to Chapel Hill." He asked where the funding comes from for special features in CHCCS school facilities, such as water recovery systems and front canopies. He said that he would like to take sonic facts back to his Board to clear up any misperceptions that they might have. Ms. Stuckey said that CHCCS had to cut elements fiom its school facility designs, and cited cultural arts space and a football stadium, for example. She said that the CHCCS district has added costs from the Chapel Hill and Carrboro regulatory requirements. "We have to build "plant rescues" into our construction schedules," she added, "and we have to provide bus stops." She said that East Chapel Hill High was built in stages, and that some State money was used to fund construction. Ms. Stuckey added that CHCCS is using the County's high school standards. She said that the best starting point for reassessing the County's school construction standards is the set of issues presented today by the staffs of the two School Districts and County. Dr. Carraway said that if the three jurisdictions "really set a basic standard," including identifying different school facility uses, then everyone will be able to understand who is getting what when features are added to a school design. Mr. ,Jacobs added that both districts receive "extras," and that these additions illustrate the need to update the County's school construction standards. Katrina and 9 -11 had big impacts on construction costs, he added. The construction standards need to reflect some amount of flexibility and need to have a cost - monitoring component. 4 Mr. Halkiotis said he would like to know what the two school districts have learned since the last set of construction standards were adopted in 1996: What are reasonable costs per square foot? What capacity numbers make sense? Should we build smaller schools? How to cut construction costs through stonmwater retention, xeroscaping, and other innovative approaches? Ms. Stuckey said that one counter force to smaller schools is the community's growing interest in physical education. For example, she said, a forthcoming CHCCS athletics task force report will be noting how the district's athletic fields are being ruined by heavy use. The community is looking to the schools for solutions to a wider and wider range of problems, she said. Mr. Hartkopf noted that vendors have been suggesting that schools purchase artificial turf to address saturation of athletics fields after it rains, Mr. Halkiois said that artificial turflmight contribute to injuries among people using the fields, and suggested that information be solicited from UNC and /or Duke sports medicine experts. Dr. Callaway said that over use is an important issue for OCS internally, as different school athletic programs compete for limited space, and with external groups. Mr. Jacobs reiterated the importance of the Collaboration Group meeting with representatives from the various local government recreation and parks advisory boards. Several group members agreed with the sentiment that whether athletic facilities are provided by the schools or the County, "it all comes out of the same pocket at the end of the day." Mr, .Jacobs said that a single construction manager for the County and the school districts could tie together school planning and development with tine provision of other community needs, such as youth services and recreation. This would increase the pace of planning and development for both the County's and the School Districts' capital facilities, he said. Parks in particular should be tied to school planning and development, he said, either because they can be sited adjacent to schools or because school and recreation advocates share a value for physical education. Mr, Link proposed that the planning directors from the local jurisdictions in Orange County meet with school and County officials to explore land banking. Ms. Stuckey agreed, adding that some of the future school sites that have already been identified are "not ideal." Mr. Halkiotis said that better coordination across the planners, schools and County would "insert a hard nosed practicality into the current way we do business. " Hundreds of hours were spent on planning Twin Creeks and Gravelley Elementary School, he said Decision makers should be thinking about how concept plans are actually going to work: how they will fit with the roads, Duke Forest lands, water, sewer, and utilities. Next Steps Group members noted that some of the information needed to reassess school construction standards could be shared outside of Collaboration Group meetings (e.g, through email or memoranda). For example: • It was suggested that the School Districts brief the County on community use of school facilities, addressing, for example, who is using the schools (i.e., after school programs, pre - school programs, community recreation/athletic programs), the numbers of people in such programs, and why the Districts must set limits on community use. • Mr. Halkiotis asked the Schools to provide information on any innovative steps they have taken to make their facilities sustainable. Ms. Stuckey expressed interest in having the group learn more about South Carolina's school -based mental health programs. .. • Group members expressed interest in receiving copies of the News and Observer's coverage two Sundays ago of Wake County's school facility issues. In addition, group members said they would like to hear presentations and have the opportunity to have their questions answered by certain outside resource persons, as follows: • Representatives from the recreation advisory boards in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough and the County. • John Locke Foundation • Wake County school facility officials. Topics of interest include the kinds of spaces and equipment that are included in Wake school facilities, as compared to CHCCS and OCS. • Cindy Shea, UNC's sustainability coordinator • State officials from DOT and Education who can distinguish their agencies' school construction guidelines and recommendations from the requirements, The group agreed on the following schedule for gathering information and developing recommendations on school construction standards for their respective Boards' consideration: • Between now and the next (April 25 2006) joint meeting of the three Boards — Clarify what is needed and share information "off line," hear /discuss presentations from selected resource persons, generate a synthesis of what has been learned by the Collaboration Group. • Between 4/25 and the September 26 joint meeting - Work with planning staff to generate a useful product relating to school construction standards, • Between 9/26/06 and January 2007 — Prepare for appointments and charging a bond study group. • Between 1/2007 and April 2007 — Report due from capital facilities bond study group. 6 Wrap Up Mr. Halkiotis said that lie was very impressed with the Collaboration Group. There is no posturing, he said, and the members are focused on what is important to the children and to the taxpayers. "We can save money by working together," he said, "and by coming together we can identify efficiencies, savings, and useful information." He cited today's discussion about municipal development requirements as particularly helpful. In response to a question from Mr. Hartkopf, Drs. Carraway and Pedersen assured their chairs and vice chairs that they are coordinating on an OCS Board request that CHCCS provide information on K -.3 (what ?). Both sets of school officials noted that their Boards had several items to talk about, and agreed to organize a joint dinner meeting for the Boards. OCS offered to host, CHCCS said that it was its turn to do so, and OCS accepted the CHCCS's invitation. Next Meeting The facilitator will canvass all group members using email to schedule the next two sessions. Facilitator's Notes County /Schools Collaboration Work Group Monday, March 20, 2006 8:00- 9:3oAM County Government Services Center, Hillsborough Present: Jamezetta Bedford, Mike Burriss, Shirley Carraway, Randy Copeland, Donna Dean, Steve Halkiotis, Al Hartkopf, Barry Jacobs, John M. Link, Jr., George McFarley, Neil Pedersen, Steve Scroggs, Jyoti Sharma, Terry Stoops, Lisa Stuckey, Steven Taynton, Rod Visser, Greg Wilder, Andy Sachs (facilitator). CHCCS Information Dr. Pedersen distributed information in response to requests from the March 20 collaboration meeting: (a) A report on community use of school facilities for 2004 -05, (b) Enrollment in after - school programs for elementary and middle schools, (c) Policy 9040, which drives the district's building standards in new schools. School Construction Standards The following invited guests gave brief presentations, answered clarifying questions from Collaboration Work Group members, and participated in an open discussion for the remainder of the meeting: • Mike Burriss (mburriss @wcpss.net), Assistant Superintendent for Facilities, and Jyoti Sharma (jsharma @wcpss.net), Director of Facility Planning, Wake County Public School System. • Terry Stoops (tstoops @johnlocke.org), Policy Analyst for Pre - School, Elementary and Secondary Education, John Locke Foundation. • Steve Taynton (staynton @dpi.state.nc.us), AIA, Chief, School Planning Section, Financial and Business Services, School Support Division, North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Burriss and Sharma, Wake County Public School System (WCPSS). • Among the many ways that WCPSS attempts to promote its students' well being is through facility design. • The most significant objectives of school design are the educational programs that are to take place within the school building. We begin designing with those programs in mind. • WCPSS has a long -range capital plan for the period through 2025. Property taxes alone will not carry the burden of meeting those needs. • In September 2005, the School Board and Board of County Commissioners agreed on guidelines for school design (see handouts: [Comparative] "Typical Space Profile" [DPI vs. WCPSS] for Elementary, Middle and High Schools. • Existing schools are used (renovated) as long as their capacities are within 25% of new school capacity standards. • New elementary school planned capacity is Soo students. Operating such schools year round enables the building to serve about rroo students per year. We build all rooms to the same size and use flexible walls to scale the rooms, as opposed to constructing, as we had in the 199o's, some smaller spaces to meet special needs. The construction cost for a two -story school is greater than the construction cost of a single -story school with the same student capacity, because of the added costs of elevators, stairwells, etc. However, the typical single story school requires about 1,5 acres more land than a typical two -story school with the same capacity. As land costs in high growth areas (where we would want to locate new schools) rise, and /or as the supply of such land lessens, it becomes more efficient to build two -story schools. Moore Square Magnet Middle School is located in downtown Raleigh, One goal of locating the school here is to encourage downtown redevelopment. Another goal of locating the school downtown is to maximize resources (and reduce school construction costs) by sharing space with other land- and build owners, For example, Moore Square Middle School does not have an auditorium within the building but has access to the auditorium in the Exploris Museum nearby. Our school on NC State's Centennial Campus does not have its own ball fields because we can use the fields on campus. Parking at Moore Square is provided through a combination of off site leases and on site spaces. Pull -off space has been provided for school buses, Space in the morning for parents to park or queue while dropping off their children has been negotiated with the City. It is very important to arrange for such concessions with municipalities early in the planning process, Brier Creek School —a suburban location -- is another design we developed through close coordination with the land use planers. In that instance we negotiated a shorter set back. A school district really needs a flexible municipality in order to manage construction costs relating to set backs, wetlands, etc, Compliance with local land use regulations — items outside of the school district's control -- could add as much as 45% of the acreage needed for a school property. Stoops John Locke Foundation • Looks at school development costs as a policy analyst, not an engineer, Handout: "The Forsyth Formula" (John Locke Foundation Spotlight No, 282, March 10, 2oo6). • Forsyth has kept its school development costs lower than the state average and kept its constituents happy too. "The Forsyth Formula" describes how they did this. Not arguing that every school district has to be like Forsyth. • The General Assembly could do a lot more to help districts control school construction costs. It could take a lesson from Florida, In 1997, Florida incorporated smart growth and frugal design principles instate legislation. Local voters are given the authority to decide upon local school district taxing authority and impact fees. The North Carolina General Assembly has shown no interest in such approaches. • Forsyth has adopted ten core principles for school construction. This came about after new County and School District leadership recognized a need to build trust among their constituents for passage of future school bonds. • The ten core principles do not look "student friendly" at first impression, but the designs are rather mindful of the district's educational programs (with some exceptions). For example, parents complained when the district built an athletic field with bleachers instead of a stadium. In response, the county loaned $ioo,000 to the district to upgrade the fields. The parents used the funds to add a field house and other amenities, and are raising money to pay back the loan. • One principle is related to using space efficiently. For example, lockers in one school were located in an alcove instead of in a hallway. This allowed the hallways to be built narrower, since they are used only for passage. • Forsyth is saving money by constructing slightly pitched roofs. The flatter roof design cuts down on the roof s volume, while drainage, construction methods, and materials ensure the roofs longevity, • Forsyth is combining spaces to achieve further efficiencies. One school has combined its cafeteria, auditorium and gymnasium in a common area that can be set up for any of the three uses at a time. • Forsyth is likely to ask voters to approve a $200 -250 million bond this year. Its "ten core principles" has supposedly built faith among the voters in the district's ability to spend wisely. • In response to a question from Mr. Link, Mr. Stoops said that the Forsyth Board of County Commissioners and the School Board were able to develop their ten principles through "a lot of collaboration." The facilities managers were involved. The Commissioners liked the idea of lowering costs. Many of the officials who collaborated on the principles are still in office. • Two other John Locke Foundation reports that Collaboration Work Group members might find relevant are: "A Lottery that Helps Students" (Spotlight No. 280 — February 15, 2006) and "Building for the Future: The School Enrollment Boom in North Carolina" (Policy Report, September 2005), Both were written by Mr. Stoops, Taunton DPI School Planning Section • DPI has site and design "guidelines" but not "standards." It values local control, • The guidelines are based on the assumption that schools will be located on rural land, These guidelines make it "easy to use up a site," • Handouts I: "Site and Facility Design Issues" for Orange County Commissioners and Board of Education (March 20, 2oo6), including Site Guidelines, Site Selection Criteria, Regular Classrooms Guidelines, Pre -K Programs, Science Guidelines, Small vs. Large Schools, Cost Savings Strategies, and Average Yearly Construction (Only) Costs. • One general principle is that costs should be considered over the long term. For example, sites in Orange County should be served by water and sewer lines. Also, districts should factor in the costs associated with any candidate site's potential for complying with DOT's requirements for turning lanes, wide roads, and automobile queuing space. • DPI's classroom guidelines have been in place since the r98o's, and they are minimal. DPI would rather a district delay the construction of an auditorium before cutting classroom space. Technology (computers) also have space requirements that might go beyond the guidelines. • Middle schools generally do not need full sized science laboratories, but high schools generally do. Smaller schools might be able to share laboratory space with other programs, but in larger schools where the labs are needed every period such sharing is not practical. 3 • On average, the cost to construct and maintain two small schools is about 20% more than the cost of a larger school, And so, to save construction and maintenance where larger schools are needed we're finding that partnerships with other functions — especially parks and recreation programs — can make sense, • Cumberland County's partnership between the schools and recreation programs is impressive. The parties get together ahead of time to plan their capital needs. • Library and school partnerships exist in some communities. Community libraries located within schools generally need space for more fiction than school -only libraries. County librarians generally earn less in salary than school system media specialists, and this would need to be addressed when school /community library partnerships are being established. • Partnership arrangements should be put in writing: who will be in charge of what? What if one or both partners need major changes to the arrangement? How will the partnership be dissolved, if necessary? • Public school teachers conventionally `own" their classrooms, but some schools are interested in the "college" model where classrooms are scheduled across several faculty members. As with many cost savings, this works better in smaller schools than in larger ones. Also, teachers must adjust to "hauling" their materials in and out of the room. • Handouts II: "Typical Space Profile" for different sized Elementary (10/6/04), Middle (7/31/03) and High Schools (7/31/03) . These guidelines have not changed since the 198o's. General Discussion • Commissioner Halkiotis thanked Mr. Taynton for including Pre -K information in his handouts. Schools are serving this population and we're funding it, but it's a whole different ballgame than K -12, he said. • Commissioner Jacobs asked if anyone was doing creative thinking about automobile queuing, Mr. Taynton replied that the significance of this issue is "phenomenal." He's seen parents in their cars "hop the curb" in order to get in front of the drop off /pick up line. It's safer for students to ride a bus to school, but our society is car oriented, Mr, Burriss said that some efforts to address this issue are taking place through WCPSS's Safe Routes to Schools program. The district is trying to ensure that all sidewalks from neighborhoods to schools within walkable distances are connected. Ms. Sharma added that this is a community values issue that is beyond a school district's power to reverse; we need a more global or regional response, she said. Mr. Taynton added that he is aware of only one truly "walkable" school in North Carolina, "and it is located on a military base." In the past, he added, walkability could be achieved when schools were sited within neighborhood; "issues of diversity are playing into this as well," • Mr. Hartkopf asked if anyone had polling data that might reveal why parents prefer to drive their children to school. Is it convenience, he asked, people loving their cars, or something else? He called the phenomenon a "spiral:" fewer people ride the bus, and so bus routes must be longer to accommodate the few bus riders, which discourages people from riding the bus. Parents probably are trying to avoid the long bus rides, he said. • Ms. Stuckey said that she strongly supports walking, biking and bus riding. It is difficult to get parents to opt f'or other means than driving for sending children to school, she said. The City Schools has learned that parents within school walk zones prefer to drive because they like the 10 -15 minutes in the car with their kids. They do 4 not have the time to walk with their children, and they value the time in the car when they can be together. Also, she said, many neighborhoods in Chapel Hill and Carrboro do not have sidewalks, stop signs or traffic signals. People are speeding through neighborhoods, and it is not safe for students to walk. An additional challenge is the number of buses: the district could not accommodate an influx of riders if a majority of parents and students switched suddenly from cars to the school bus. Finally, Ms. Stuckey said, it would be very hard to tell high school students that they cannot drive to school. Nevertheless, she added, she strongly supports walking, biking and bus riding. • Ms. Sharma said that wealthier families are more likely to insist on driving to school than families with lower incomes. • The Chapel Hill— Carrboro City Schools has a successful partnership with the public library. One general concern in the community is that elementary students should not be exposed to certain works of fiction that might otherwise be found in a public library. District and library officials have "wrestled with who has firs dibs" on how the shared facility is operated. • Mr. Taynton said that in Cumberland County the school district's partnership with recreation programs has been "very successful" in part because the district chose a larger site in order to accommodate the two sets of users. He added that elementary fields were equipped with removable backstops because the younger students were playing soccer but not baseball, while community users wanted to play baseball as well as soccer. • Mr. Burriss said that partnerships are most successful when the parties' attitudes are collaborative. In Wake County, the parties all got together and looked at the cost savings from sharing relative to renting additional facilities to meet everyone's needs. Parks and Recreation offered to provide maintenance for the shared athletic fields because they already had the equipment and staff to do this. Scheduling is left to two people at the staff level, the policy makers are kept out of it, "and it works." The high school facilities are used "all the time" for team practice, and the local governments accept this and schedule community uses around the school's needs. But at the same time "the principals are flexible." The point is that we do not come to the table for the purpose of confrontation; we come to make it work for all of us. • In response to a question from Ms. Stuckey, Mr. Burriss said that WCPSS is using artificial turf in game fields but not on practice fields. • Mr. Burriss added that the best way to approach joint use is to master plan the site first, and then to divide the uses afterward. "Take a twenty acre parcel, master plan the campus, and then split it among the partners." There may be different ownership of different portions of a parcel, he said, and /or it may be that different users rent different spaces from each other. • The attorneys should be involved ahead of time to work out all the insurance and legal arrangements, he added. WCPSS now has standard partnership agreements that it uses for its joint use initiatives. • Mr. Taynton said that parties may be motivated to share facilities when, for example, a community demands a full sized school gym and a Board of County Commissioners does not fund it. This then threatens classroom size and gives the school district reasons to find a creative solution. • In response to a question from Commissioner Halkiotis, Mr. Burriss said that the school district has a rental schedule for its facilities that is based on a full audit of each facility's costs to the district. Community rentals are an "enterprise system" for the district, he said. "We even charge the Boy Scouts," he said. 5 • When we buy a site, Mr. Burriss said, we solicit partners who can bring money to the table. The county and municipalities should be doing their own long range capital planning, so they know what their needs are. Then, when we meet in the context of a particular site, we can identify all of the needs and tap each other's resources for the community's benefit. • In response to a question from Mr. Link, Mr. Burriss said that municipalities really did contribute financial resources to the partnership. He gave the example of Cary in the context of Middle Creek campus ( "a great collaboration "), adding that the property was divided after the district had completed a master plan for the site. • Mr. Burriss noted one joint use mistake from his experience in Wake County: in one instance there was not a sufficient "firewall" between a community center and a school that had been co- located. Good security is needed between a school building and another community facility so that people cannot move easily from the community facility into the school. • In response to a question from Dr. Pedersen, Ms. Sharma gave a brief overview of some considerations for environmentally friendly school design and construction. She is a member of the US Green Building Council. WCPSS decided not to pursue LEED certification, in part because the district's practices are ahead of those standards and in part because the certification process is time consuming and expensive. "The goal is not certification," she said, "the goal is good design." WCPSS pursues "high performance design" for its schools and this gets the district to its environmental goals. And we don't make significant changes until after we have consulted with our maintenance people. • "We challenge our designers to be sensible," she said. For example: • The district uses a creative approach to windows to achieve day lighting without having to install day lighting monitors. • With a "whole building approach," the district coordinates what it needs from its mechanical systems while the same time improving the school building envelope. • The district was managing its storm water appropriately even before this was a mandate. We've been saving in operating costs because we would have had to pay for the nitrogen in our runoff. • We use common sense design to avoid heat generated from our parking lots. • We use drought resistant plants (which had to be pursued in tandem with community education so that people would understand the different aesthetic). • We've saved about 40,000 gallons of water a year from using waterless urinals. These fixtures also are easier to clean than conventional ones. They are fiberglass instead of porcelain. All of our high schools and middle schools have been retrofitted with waterless urinals, and all future schools will have them installed. • We've installed carbon monoxide monitors in the schools, and use low VOC paints. None of this is adding costs. • We've brought the construction industry along with us, and find they are just as interested in minimizing construction waste as we are in reducing waste and costs. Revised (4A8 /o6) Facilitator's Notes County /Schools Collaboration Work Group Monday, April 3, 2006 9:0o AM — moo AM Lincoln Center, Merritt Mill Road, Chapel Hill Present: Jamezetta Bedford, Shirley Carraway, Randy Copeland, Donna Dean, Robb English, AI Hartkopf, Barry Jacobs, John M. Link, Jr., George McFarley, Anita Jones - McNair, Doris Murrell, Neil Pedersen, Steve Scroggs, Cynthia Pollock Shea, Kathryn Spatz, Lisa Stuckey, Rod Visser, Greg Wilder, Ann Wilkerson, Andy Sachs (facilitator). Group members took a few minutes at the start of the meeting for two miscellaneous matters: Asset Management Technology - Mr. Hartkopf asked if the County staff had taken a look at the information on asset management technology from Dillman Management Group. Mr. Link said that he had not yet done so, and asked Mr. Hartkopf if there were a deadline for this. Mr. Hartkopf said that OCS is going to purchase paper in the early Fall and he hopes CHCCS and the County would be able to make a well - informed decision about a joint bid process before then. Mr. Link asked Ms. Dean to pursue the matter with the OCS finance staff. Joint OCS- CHCCS -BOCC Meeting - Mr. Jacobs asked what the process will be for establishing an agenda for the April 25, 2oo6 joint meeting of the Boards of Education and County Commissioners. The group agreed to send agenda topics by email to Mr. Sachs ( asachs(a)disputesettlement.org), who will organize the topics into a draft agenda and distribute that draft agenda to Collaboration Work Group members. Sustainability in UNC -CH campus construction and maintenance Cynthia Pollock Shea, Director of the UNC -CH Sustainability Office, gave a presentation and fielded questions for about thirty minutes. She distributed UNC -CH's 2005 Campus Sustainability Report, which elaborates on the points she made in her presentation: • One of the University's goals is to remove about 20 acres of surface parking, half of which will be replaced by new green space and half by new buildings. • Rams Head Plaza includes a parking garage with a "green roof." The roof is designed to absorb and reuse rainwater, to serve as community gathering space, and to provide a pedestrian connection between the northern and southern ends of campus. Another goal of the mixed use project -- which includes a dining hall, sports cafe, game room, recreation center and grocery store within walking distance from 8,00o residential students and most campus classrooms — is to provide healthy food for students, for less money, without driving or taking the bus. University projects are reducing energy use, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing reliance on single occupant cars. For example, more than 5 million rides are provided annually through Chapel Hill Transit, of which UNC is the largest funder. She noted however that housing prices are leading campus faculty and staff to live beyond the bus lines. The Commuter Alternatives Program enrolls about 70o employees who voluntarily give up campus parking permits (they walk, bike, use public transit, carpool, vanpool, or use park and ride) in return for emergency rideback service anywhere in Chapel Hill and Carrboro as well as other services and discounts. • Volkswagen Beetles are available on demand for a $5.00 /hour fee to departments, and students and employees over 21, who join the campus "zipcar" program. A bicycle pump has been installed on the front of the Student Union to assist bike commuters. • Last year, 41% of the campus's total daily trash was recycled or composted. Another of the University's goals is to avoid any increase in the volume, rate or pollutant load of'stormwater. The campus is installing porous pavement for its parking lots and is considering forest restoration at the edges of developed areas. The School of Nursing addition is the first building in the UNC system to apply for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. This project includes a "cool roof' with reflective surface to reduce the urban heat island effect, and a green roof design that will manage stormwater and provide a patio for nursing students. • UNC has installed water free and ultra -low flow (0.5 gallons per flush) urinals in buildings across campus. • 25% of the electricity and all of the steam used at UNC is generated on campus at the cogeneration (combined heat and power) plant on Cameron Avenue. The plant generates twice as much energy from a pound of coal as a traditional coal -fired plant that does not capture the steam. • The campus will use a new "thermal energy storage system" so that it can cool water at night, when electricity costs and overall demand for electricity are lower than day time costs and demand. • Students have voted to raise their own fees in order to invest in campus renewable energy projects. • Metering and sub - metering (by floor and wing) is enabling UNC to better understand when and how electricity, steam and chilled water are being used. Students are being educated about their energy use through sub- metering. The information can be tied into curricula, and competitions across dorms and floors can lead to further reductions in energy consumption. Better information is enabling the University to compare energy intensity across building types. The average lab building uses more than four times as much energy per square foot as the average classroom, administrative, or residential building. Data is enabling the University to identify buildings that should be the highest priorities for energy upgrades. County/Schools Collaboration Meeting (April 8, 2005) 2 • Aspects of the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED guidelines are applied to every project on campus. • The best opportunities to save energy come during the design phase. UNC selects designers who can help the campus meet its sustainability goals. • Other public agencies have taken sustainable design to heart. The federal General Services Administration budgets 55,00o BTU's per square foot in its building design process. • School districts can compare their facilities' energy consumption against national averages (normalized for differences in climate) using two tools developed by US EPA through its Energy Star program. Target Finder is used during school design, and Portfolio Manager is used for existing buildings. • Highly recommended reading: The Ecological Engineer (Volume One: KEEN Engineering) by David R. Macaulay and Jason F. McLennan (Ecotone Publishing Company). • Pickard's Mountain Eco- Institute, located eight miles west of campus, is a field site for UNC students pursuing degrees in Environmental Science or Environmental Studies. It focuses on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, natural building, and biodiesel production. Following the presentation, Dr. Pedersen asked Ms. Shea about grant sources that the districts might tap to fund sustainability projects. She said that students have voted to raise their own fees in support of campus sustainability. First collected in fall 2004, the fee generates some $193,000 annually. She added that the State Energy Policy Council approved a $137,000 Clean Technology Demonstration Grant in support of a solar hot water heating system on the renovated Morrison Residence Hall. Also, the Higher Education Bond provided $ro million for stormwater management on campus. Finally, she suggested that officials research the Kresge Foundation and the McAdams Group [http: / /Nvww fundinggreenbuildings.com]. Mr. Link asked how much of green building design is incorporated into the specifications during the public bidding process for design and construction services. Ms. Shea said that it is normal, for example, to document in specifications the percentages that are desired for recycled steel. She said that a government can specify a radius for locally sourced materials (UNC uses 500 miles), to reduce materials transportation impacts. Specs also can call for minimal off- gassing from paints, carpets and adhesives. Third party certification bodies, such as the U.S. Green Building Council, provide standards that can be incorporated into design specifications. Mr. Jacobs asked about the cost of green roofs relative to more traditional roofing and stormwater retention methods. Ms. Shea said that there are added costs with green roofs, but that they add value from their thermal insulation and the green space they provide. The School of Nursing had its own funding to support their green roof'. County /Schools Collaboration Meeting (April 8, 2005) 3 Schools and Local Recreation Programs Three invited speakers as shown below gave ten minute presentations each, followed by a question and answer period with Work Group members. Robb English Chair Orange County Recreation and Parks Advisory Council • County recreation programs use Orange High School's wrestling room, football field for games (but not practice), and tennis courts and track (during non - school hours). • Cedar Ridge serves as the back -up location for the jazz festival. • The youth basketball program plays at the County's central and northern recreation centers, but not any of the OCS facilities because program organizers consider the rental costs for OCS facilities to be too high. • The County's northern recreation center is used for youth basketball practice, but not for games because the floor is carpeted. All of the youth basketball games are played at the central center. One implication of this is that other recreation activities, such as pick -up basketball games, cannot take place at the central center as often as desired. • The Advisory Council is interested in providing indoor athletic leagues but no facilities exist to support this. • County recreation programs would need additional facilities, even if all the space sought by the Advisory Council from OCS were available for community recreation. What's needed is a multi -use indoor facility, but it is challenging to find a site that is served by water and sewer. • The Advisory Council would like to have access to more OCS facilities for informal play on weekends. Some schools already are available for this, but others are not. For example, the track at Cedar Ridge is not accessible on weekends. Some playgrounds are not accessible on weekends. • The Advisory Council understands the need to pay fees to OCS for formal athletic events, but its current understanding of the fee schedule leads it to conclude that OCS facilities are cost prohibitive for non - school community recreation programs. His understanding was that there is a one -time annual application fee, a facility fee, a custodial fee, and a utilities fee, but later in the meeting Ms. Wilkerson said that there are two fees to use district facilities: a $30 processing fee, which is not charged to the County's recreation department, and a custodial /use of facility fee. • The Advisory Council would like access to OCS cooking spaces for home economics programs, and theater spaces for community drama. Last summer, Orange High was used for community theater in exchange for a fee. "We understand the need to charge but we want to be able to negotiate the fee," Mr. English said. • The County shares its facilities with the schools, he noted, for example CHCCS has used the Homestead Center for meetings. In response to Mr. English's presentation, Ms. Wilkerson said that there are two fees to use OCS facilities: a $30 processing fee, which is not charged to the County's recreation department, and a custodial /use of facility fee. County/Schools Collaboration Meeting (April 8, 2005) 4 Mr. Copeland said that there is not enough youth recreation programming for rural Orange County. He asked if the Advisory Council had any plans for addressing this, should OCS make its facilities more available for non - school community recreation activities. Mr. English said that the Advisory Council would want to expand youth baseball in particular, and other recreation programs for all rural residents. Mr. Hartkopf said that OCS needs to have more dialogue with the County's recreation and parks department. He explained that OCS needed to raise its facility rental rates because utility costs for the schools were significant. Doris Murrell Chair Carrboro Recreation and Parks Commission Ms. Murrell listed the many ways that Carrboro recreation programs use CHCCS school facilities, including: • Chapel Hill High football field for youth games, • McDougle Middle School for basketball, and infrequently the school's music room for music camp, • Culbreth Middle School, Phillips Middle School, Frank Porter Graham Elementary, Estes Elementary, and Sewell Middle School between October and March for youth basketball, • Carrboro Elementary year round for its stage and classrooms • Carrboro generally uses school facilities Mondays through Fridays after 6:0o PM, Saturday mornings through the late afternoons, and Sundays in the afternoons. During the following months, the following hours were used and fees paid to CHCCS by Carrboro for non - school community recreation programs (fees incurred range from $7.61 /hour to $15 /hour, plus a $30 per site processing fee): • July 2005, 96 hours, $730 • August 2005, 26 hours, $198 • September 2005, 4o hours, $660 • October 2005, 99 hours, $1575 • November 2005, 319 hours, $4875 • December 2005, 234 hours, $3520 • January 2006, 441 hours, $3540 • February 2oo6, 382 hours, $5732 • March 20o6,162 hours, $2400 • Some of the costs going from the Town to CHCCS are offset by the district's use of Town facilities. For example, McDougle uses the Town's tennis courts for practice and games, and periodically CHCCS uses the Century Center, County /Schools Collaboration Meeting (April 8, 2005) • The Town of Carrboro owns no gyms. All of its indoor athletic programs are conducted in school facilities. • The Recreation and Parks Commission would like access to schools in the afternoons and early evenings. It receives many complaints from the community about how late practices must be held. • The limiting factor in Carrboro's recreation programming is space. There is strong interest in expanding programs for adults and youth, and plenty of volunteers, "The Department is concerned, and the Commission is concerned." • There is a need for afternoon programs for parents and teens. In particular, the Commission would like to provide after school programs at McDougle Middle School. • The money for public recreation programs and for public schools "all comes out of the same purses," Ms, Murrell said. We therefore need to share across the schools and the recreation departments. Working together, the schools and recreation programs can help each other obtain funding, "I hear this on the state and federal levels" in the forums I'm involved with beyond my service in Carrboro, she said. • The Commission is concerned about losing some of the space to which it now has access. McDougle is going to move its wrestling program to its gym. • Many young people do not have adults at home for them when they get out of school. They need recreation programs as early in the afternoons as possible, to keep them busy, out of trouble, safe and healthy. In response to Ms. Murrell's presentation, Mr. Copeland asked how CHCCS secures its facilities when making buildings and fields available to non- school community programs. Dr. Pedersen said that the district requires a custodian to be present, either from the school or one provided by the user, Ms. Bedford said that the district's gyms, anticipating community use, are designed with separate offices and bathrooms so that the rest of the building can be sealed off from non - school users. Ms. Stuckey added that all spaces that the community might use for non - school functions -- the library, gym, auditorium and cafeteria — are self - sufficient, so that the academic, sections of the building may be locked. The teachers have legitimate concerns about classrooms and instructional materials not being disturbed, she said. Mr. Copeland agreed that recreation and schools funding "all comes from the same pocket." An implication of this, he said, is that fewer dollars will be available for education if the school districts pay for non - school community recreation programs. "We need to put our heads together with the County to allot County /Schools Collaboration Meeting (April 8, 2005) 6 parks and recreation funds to the schools," he said. "We wrestled with this when we were talking about the new fees." Ms. Stuckey said that CHCCS is not covering it costs from the fees it charges to non - school users. Mr. Hartkopf said that OCS has concerns about securing its facilities against vandalism. Access for non - school community users should be addressed through the three boards' current reconsideration of the County's construction standards, he said. Dr. Carraway said that OCS has considered asking the County for a flat fee to cover non - school community recreational users of school buildings and fields. "But somebody has to be responsible" for protecting the facilities, she said. In earlier discussions, the Recreation and Parks Department wanted to use their own people to protect the facilities. OCS has not found this acceptable because it has the ultimate responsibility for making sure that the buildings and fields are ready for teachers and students. The primary purpose of these facilities is education, she said. Dr. Carraway said that she is willing to talk with the County about these matters. She said that one set of issues needing consideration is the space requirements of the district's pre - school programs, especially for playgrounds. We really need to sit down and talk about this, she said. Kathryn Spatz Director Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department The Town of Chapel Hill and the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City School System have a 30 — Year Joint Use Agreement that expires December 31, 2007. Under that agreement, the Town paid for the development of the following CHCCS facilities, and so the Town programs those facilities: • Lincoln gym (most school days this is used by teachers for adaptive physical education). • Lincoln pottery studio space (anticipate this will probably not be renewed due to school space demands. We are interested in gaining access to studio space at Chapel Hill High). • Culbreth athletic fields • Ephesus athletic fields • Phillips athletic fields (not lighted, Town has not used in many years) • The Town and CHCCS do not charge each other for use of outdoor facilities, and this arrangement has worked out well. The most important part of malting this work for us is ensuring good communication across the maintenance staffs. Separate Agreements between the Town and CHCCS address: o Scroggs athletic field, use of multi - purpose room, and use of school space (or equivalent in another school) for summer programming. The Town pays for the lighting and irrigation of the athletic field. County/Schools Collaboration Meeting (April 8, 2005) 7 • Rashkis gym and use of school space (or equivalent in another school) for summer programs). The Town contributed funds so that the school would have a full sized gym. The gym has its own entrance and storage space apart from the school's. • Phillips tennis courts (formal agreement expired, cooperative relationship continues — anticipate folding this into renewal of 30 year agreement). • Not part of formal agreement but the Town's and district's practice has been to charge each other 50% of normal fees for use of indoor space (including pools) when operating classes and programs. There is no charge for use of indoor facilities for meetings, Based on ongoing dialogue between the Town and CHCCS, we expect this to continue. • Generally speaking, CHCCS uses Town facilities more than the reverse. This is primarily for pool time, both at indoor Community Center (swim teams) and outdoor Hargraves Center (summer day camps), In response to Ms. Spatz's presentation: Mr. Link said that written agreements for sharing across County and school facilities were very important. He said that the written agreement between OCS and the County for the Orange High School tennis courts is working well. Mr. Link said that it is reasonable for citizens to expect to use school buildings for non - school community programs, and it is reasonable for the school districts to be reimbursed for added direct costs, such as security. Utility fees and access fees are "blurry," he said, because those costs are not specified in District or County budgets. We can't show that those costs have or have not already been paid for. Mr. Hartkopf said that the costs ought to be calculated programmatically and over a number of years, as opposed to costing out each individual instance of non - school recreation use. For example, instead of waging "turf battles" over the use of a football field, he said, we should identify the capital and operating costs associated with getting the fields ready each year. Similarly, if the County wants an adult basketball program then it should think about how to make that work programmatically over, say, 30 years. Programmatic costs can be amortized over longer periods of time. Mr. English, making sure he understood, asked if OCS would want to know, for example, all of the space needs associated with an adult athletic league over the long term. "Since Orange High is packed right now, clearly what is needed is additional indoor space," he said. Mr. Hartkopf answered that the information would go to the Board of County Commissioners, not OCS. Mr, English added that decision makers should think about installing artificial turf at school athletic fields. It holds up better, and it lasts year round, he said, County/Schools Collaboration Meeting (April 8, 2005) 8 Although the up front costs are higher, he said, it might be economical over the long term. Ms. Stuckey said that on a recent campus tour with her daughter she learned that American University has put down artificial turf on a heavily used, multi - purpose field, "Over use is a significant limitation for us" she said, "let's take a look at this." Ms. Spatz added that artificial turf extends the time when fields can be used, Mr. Hartkopf said that it is cheaper to maintain and so might from a programmatic perspective be a good investment. Mr. Hartkopf said that the basketball hoops have been taken off the poles at Hillsborough Elementary to discourage older kids from congregating on those courts. "I've been told that hoops lead to condoms and needles," he said. The proper response to this would be to reinstall the hoops and provide security for the courts by the Hillsborough Police Department, he said. "But someone has to be responsible for policing the area if it is going to be used," he said. Ms. Bedford said that the CHCCS Board of Education recently received a parks and recreation report. "We know that Carrboro is concerned about the hours that the schools are accessible for the community," she said. "We want to reach out and we want to plan together. We do not have the funds, but we have to plan." Ms. Bedford added that special populations and middle schoolers in the summer need more hours of programming. "School facilities might be able to assist," she said, "and it will be a long term process." Mr. Scroggs asked everyone to note that the demand for using school facilities is not only coming from local parks and recreation programs. goo organizations — including churches, the Greek Festival, private arts and crafts organizations, "improv" groups, a filming company and the Cary Ballet — used CHCCS facilities last year for over 9,00o hours. Ms. Murrell asked Mr. Scroggs if CHCCS gives priority to any of those users. He replied that school users come first, then public recreation programs, and then organized (as opposed to ad hoc) groups. "I don't think we have ever bumped parks and recreation for a private user," he said. Mr. Link said that taxpayers have spent about $300 million on schools over the last 15 years, and all together the three jurisdictions represent about a $500 million pool of community resources. "No doubt we can provide the security that is needed" to improve the community's access to school facilities. " He recalled the access to Duke University's basketball courts that he and his friends enjoyed in the 196o's while growing up in Durham. "We saw it as a right to use those courts. For our citizens it is a right, and we need to get back to that," Mr. Hartkopf said that he wants to see by the next Collaboration meeting an inventory of OCS facilities that the County Parks and Recreation Department wants access to, and "what it would take to make it so." The list should reflect the shared perspective across the district and department, he said. Mr. Jacobs asked if CHCCS and the Chapel Hill and Carrboro recreation departments could do the same sort of survey. The two groups could then report back to the Collaboration Group in the fall, he suggested. Mr. Hartkopf reiterated that the information County /Schools Collaboration Meeting (April 8, 2005) should be presented at the next Collaboration meeting so that action could be taken sooner rather than later. Mr. English asked for more information about OCS's security concerns. He pointed out that Grady Brown and New Hope elementary schools are both fenced. Dr. Caraway explained that those fences were installed as a matter of routine school design, but that other OCS schools are unfenced, open to community use, and used very much. She said that OCS and the County Recreation and Parks Department needed to "put all of the information on the table" as they work together, including costs, school designs, security concerns and access concerns. Society has changed, Dr. Carraway added. People no longer see school facilities as being their own. Instead, some people who gain access "tear the buildings up," and designs need to take that — as well as the community's interest in recreation - - into consideration. Mr. Jacobs said that community leaders needed to educate people about school facilities, that indeed schools do belong to everyone and therefore everyone has a responsibility for taking care of them. Mr. Jacobs asked the school officials if the districts use SportsPlex. Dr. Pedersen and Dr. Carraway each replied that their swim teams use the SportsPlex. Both said that their respective high school athletic departments arrange for whatever fees are charged by SportsPlex, and noted that the hours available to the schools were "odd." Ms. Wilkerson added that the Dolphins use SportsPlex during intercession (paid for from their own budget). Dr. Carraway added that OCS uses the facility for Project Graduation. Dr. Pedersen clarified, in response to a question from Ms. Stuckey, that CHCCS playgrounds — when not in use by elementary school after school programs -- are always open to the public, and that -- except for at the high schools -- the Districts' athletic fields also are always available. Ms. Stuckey asked if the CHCCS athletic facilities have been vandalized. Mr. Scroggs said that some off - the -road vehicle drivers have torn up some middle school fields after it has rained, but that he is more concerned about people walking their dogs (and not cleaning up after them) on the running tracks. Dr. Pedersen said that vandalism had been an issue at Scroggs Elementary. "The Town erected a locked, ro -foot fence at Scroggs in response to some problems," he recalled. Ms. Murrell asked the officials to appreciate the importance of community recreation in the battle against childhood obesity. She said that federal funding is available for recreation through some of the federal educational grant programs, and pointed out that community recreation programs are especially needed during the summer when the schools' physical education programs are not offered. "Recreation programs for young people should not stop when the schools out," she said. County/Schools Collaboration Meeting (April 8, 2005) 10 Mr. Copeland asked Mr. English to describe in writing for the OCS school board the expansion programs that would result from any expanded access to OCS athletic facilities.

Policy Code: 9040 High Performance Building Design The Board of Education supports the construction of school facilities that are designed to be cost - efficient, durable and sensitive to the environment. These criteria can only be met when an integrated approach to design is used from concept introduction to building conmrissioning. The Board of Education takes its role as stewards of taxpayer funds seriously and supports efforts to design and construct schools that not only are cost efficient to build but will reduce operational expenses over the life -span of the building. The Board of Education supports the definition of High Performance Schools provided below and will incorporate it during the design and construction phases of school development. High Performance Schools (HPS) are designed to improve the learning environment while saving energy. materials and natmal resources.

In prior years, the state's budget shortfall has been a major concern, with significant cutbacks proposed early in the process. This year, the state's revenue picture is brighter; however, it appears that decisions in Raleigh will once again have a significant impact on our local budget. Last fall the Governor announced his intent to propose a five percent salary increase to certified state personnel and a three percent increase to non - certified personnel, Additionally, the Governor granted a prorated $750 a year raise to certified staff in November 2005 which was covered by state funds for the current year for state and locally paid staff, but must be funded by the school districts for locally paid staff next year. These substantial raises are certainly necessary as teacher salaries have slipped well below tine national average in recent years; however, a significant amount of new local finding will be needed to find what amounts to a 7.5% salary increase for teachers. Proposed salary increases will require almost $2 million to fund. There are four other major areas of expense in our budget request: (1) costs associated with growth in projected student enrollment of 338 students; (2) increased costs to continue the current level of services; (3) costs associated with opening our third high school, Carrboro High School, in 2007 -08; and (4) costs associated with implementing a new high school schedule in 2006 -07. The specifics associated with these increases are provided later in the budget message All must be funded and their costs amount to approximately $4.1 million. Funding this budget request will require an increase in both the county per -pupil appropriation and the district tax rate. The additional $14 million in our local budget from special district tax revenue primarily fiords additional positions for our schools. If teacher salaries increase by 7 5% and the district tax rate remains the same, then this revenue source is impacted by only the .3% increase in the tax base The disparity between these two figures means that the county per -pupil increase must be relied upon to fund mandated salary increases for positions supported by the district tax. We need approximately a one -cent increase in tine district tax rate to compensate for the 7 5% salary increase for certified personnel Table 1 summarizes prior year funding trends for the operating budget since tine 2000- 01 budget year During this five -year period, county per -pupil funding has increased by 16.4% whereas the state increases have amounted to only 9.6 %. This averages out to approximately a 3% annual increase locally and a 2% annual increase from the state. Such increases do little more than keep pace with very modest salary increases at a time when more and more is expected of our schools.

Budget Process The budget process for 2006 -07 requested school -based and central office administrators to identify areas of shortfall in their operating budgets as well as funding needs for implementing School Improvement Plans or new initiatives. Input on areas of the budget where cost savings could be generated was also requested. Capital improvement needs were also submitted to support the development of the Capital Investment Plan. The budget requests were reviewed by the administration and shared with the Board of Education at the February Planning Conference. The identified operating budget needs from schools and administration totaled $64 million at that time. Further reviews have streamlined the requests to eliminate overlapping requests between the schools and administration and requests that were not strongly,justifed. In addition, other potential funding sources were identified. The items presented in this document represent only those expenses that we consider essential for maintaining the current level of services and for meeting the goals of the district or the new initiatives set for next year. Tire increase requested in the local operating budget is $4,820,694 which is a 10% increase over the current year's amended local budget of $47,327,435. The largest portion of the increase (47 %) is needed to fund anticipated salary increases and costs associated with student enrollment growth The Governor has proposed a 5% increase for certified staff salaries and 3% increase for non- certified staff: The next largest portion of the increase (18 %) represents funds needed to continue current services. Costs passed on to the school district, such as funding for the McDougle Middle School SRO and crossing guards, must be absorbed to continue the services. Likewise, inflationary increases are needed to maintain the purchasing power of school and administrative budgets. The opening of Carrrboro High School is also a substantial portion of the operating budget request (8 %) as well as the implementation of the seven - period day at the high schools (12 %). The remaining categories of budget requests collectively total 15 %, This document does not address any contingency plan if the state discretionary reduction, which has been in place for several years, continues. We will take the position with the Governor and General Assembly that the recent reductions in class size have been funded by the discretionary reduction. With the institution of the lottery and the commitment to use its revenues to reduce class size, we are hopeful that the discretionary reduction will be eliminated. This document focuses primarily on the local budget request that will be presented to the County. Expenditures A summary of the new expenditures requested in the 2006 -07 budget is provided below: Anticipated Salary Increases for Certified and Non - Certified Staff Salary Increases $1,955,789 The governor is expected to propose a 5% salary increase ($751,559) for certified staff' and a .3 % met ease for non- certified staff ($3.31,637) An increase in local supplements is needed to compensate for the salary increase for the state and locally -paid certified staff ($240,330). Locally funded teachers who received the additional $750 pay raise this year were covered by state funds, but the cost must be covered from local funds in this and subsequent years ($319,371). The state planning allotment for the district projects 17 new teaching positions that will require a local supplement match ($91,800). An extra 2% increase for classified staff is requested because of the meager increases received over the past several years. Board Stipends $900 Board stipends were increased in the 2004 -05 budget year by reallocating funds from the Board's staff development budget line. Prior to last year's increase Board stipends had not been increased for several years. We are recommending that in this and future years the Board stipends be increased commensurate with teacher salary increases The 5% increase is certainly minimal and does not recognize the costs inherent to Board members for their- community service. In another section of the budget we request funds for high speed Internet service to board members as well as computers to be placed in their homes if needed. Costs Associated with Proiected Student Enrollment Growth Elementary and Middle School Teacher Assistants $ 144,445 The state has projected 338 new students above the 2005 -06 enrollment projection which will increase the requirement for staff in the schools. Pour new elementary teacher assistants ($I 15,556) and one new middle school teacher assistant ($28,889) will be needed. 75 Media Specialist for East Chapel Hill High $ 46,017 Last Chapel Hill High School was scheduled to receive a half -time media specialist position in 2004 -05 based on the Board's personnel allotment formula, but due to a lack of funding the position has not been allocated, The school has requested a 75 professional position. A waiver will later be requested to create a permanent substitute position and a 5 classified position to assist with attendance issues, 1.5 ESL Teaching Positions $ 92,034 Growth in the enrollment of students who do not speak English requires an increase in the number of ESL teachers. The current K -12 ESL teacher /student ratio is 1:34.5. The additional position in K -12 will reduce the ratio to 1:33.4. The .5 position requested for Pre -K will certainly help, but the teacher student ratio will still be about 1:55. National guidelines suggest a student - teacher ratio of 1:20, Expenses Allocated on a Per -Pupil Basis $ 27,699 Growth in student enrollment requires additional dollars in the budget lines that are allocated to schools on a per -pupil basis: field trips, At -Risk student supplies, instructional supplies, technology software, textbooks, media center supplies, and administrative supplies and postage, Secretarial Position for Chapel Hill High $ 38,667 Due to student growth, Chapel Hill High School is scheduled to receive an additional secretarial position to support the additional assistant principal position that was added a few years ago. Continuation of Current Services (Inflationary increases and passed -on costs The budget request under this heading includes rate increases, areas that are currently not adequately budgeted, and costs that have been passed on from expiring grants or discontinued support. Current McDougle Middle School SRO $ 48,104 This position was previously paid for by the Town of Carrboro. Notice was given last year that the funding for the SRO at McDougle Middle School would be discontinued for the 2006 -07 school year. The SRO position is considered essential to school safety. Current Carrboro Crossing Guards $ 36,378 The school crossing guards at Carrboro Elementary and McDougle have also been funding by the Town of'Carrboro in the past. The guard positions are needed to ensure student safety. Utility Increases $ 274,865 A 10% increase in water rates ($40,000), a 15% increase in natural gas rates ($107,602), and a 7.5 %u increase in electricity ($127,263) require budget adjustments to ensure available funding to manage the utility bills. In prior budget years the utility budget increases have not kept pace with actual rate changes. This budget request attempts to keep the utility budgets adequately funded. Increased Cost for Errors and Omissions Insurance $ 50,000 This budget line item has not been increased in recent years to keep pace with the growth in district employees, The current budget is $30,000; the payment for the 2005 -06 year was $69,080 4 Increased Cost for Unemployment Insurance $ 25,000 The district experienced a significant reduction in the cost of unemployment claims last year, but the unemployment insurance budget line is still insufficient. The local budget is currently set at $7,559 and the current year's bill was $23,678. The district's local portion of the unemployment bill for 2004 -05 was $56,285. Although the actual bill will fluctuate, this budget request should adequately fund this account if the district continues to appeal unwarranted claims, Increased Cost for Workers' Compensation $ 100,000 The workers' compensation insurance budget line has been under - budgeted for several years. The district's current policy costs $271,824 per year; the current budget is $84,298. This budget increase represents only 50% of what is actually needed in this budget line. Additional requests will be made in future budget years until this line is adequately funded. Subsidy for Child Nutrition Services $ 122,000 The Board of Education approved a $162,000 Child Nutrition Services subsidy for this current year An additional rate increase of 10 cents will be proposed for 2006 -07 which will generate $40,000 in revenue reducing the subsidy requirement to $122,000 Increased Cost for Copier Contract $ 85,000 The district is currently under a lease contract with Xerox Corporation for copier management services Several amendments have been made to the original contract to provide adequate copier services to all schools including the opening of a new school. The sales tax cost was inadvertently omitted from the bid proposal and has caused budget overruns. A portion of the contract is paid from recurring capital funds which were reduced by the county in recent years adding to the overall shortfall. 5% Increase for Expenses Allocated on a Per -Pupil Basis $ 30,000 This request is to provide an inflationary increase to the per -pupil budget allocation formulas that are used to allot budget to schools such as instructional supplies, janitorial supplies, and field trips. This modest increase does not represent the total amount requested by individual schools, but provides an across - the -board increase to all schools, Each per -pupil funding formula rate will be adjusted to reflect this increase. Increased Cost for Services to Homebound Students $ 10,000 The current budget for homebound student services is insufficient. This increase will align the budget with actual costs to maintain services at the current level. Equipment, Supplies, and Transportation for Section 504 Students $ 10,000 Section 504 funds will be used to provide access to education for identified students. Student needs, such as hearing aids, writing boards, and transportation services, will be provided with these funds. This budget fluctuates each year according to the specific needs of students Currently, the budget does not include any dedicated funds for Section 504 students; the funds are reallocated from other budget lines each year to meet the students' needs. The amount of this request reflects a typical year's expenditures for Section 504 students, Postal Rate Increase for Central Office $ 2,000 The recent $.02 per stamp postal rate increase requires an increase to the postage budget for central offices, All central office mail is metered through a centralized postage machine. Increased cost for laser Printer Cartridges for Budget and Finance $ 2,500 The district converted to laser checks during the 2002 -0.3 school year and updated the machines and software in 2004 -05 to improve compatibility with our financial management software. Laser check stock and cartridges for the printers have placed a burden on the supply budget Maintaining Positions or Programs Funded by Grants that are Expiring $ 52,583 Half of the Home Computer Loaner Program manager's salary ($18,000) has been funded by a federal grant which expires this school year The other half is funded by local funds The district plans to continue this program and will need to pick up the full cost of the salary. The 21" Century Grant which currently funds the after school program at Carrboro Elementary and Hargraves Center will expire at the end of this school year, The $20,800 requested will allow the program to continue at Canboro. The Carrboro after school provides instructional support and care to about 100 students. Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation and St. Paul AME Church are collaborating to continue the program at the Hargraves Center. The volunteer specialist position in the Volunteer Office was created six years ago from 21" Century Grant funds. As these grant funds have diminished local funds have been provided to maintain the position. Grant funds will not be available to continue this position after this school year. The requested $13,783, together with the local funds that already support this position, will fully fund it Preparing for the OpeninE of Carrboro High School Principal Salary $ 79,236 The opening of the new high school will require the hiring of a principal by .July 2006 along with a secretary to support the position. The principal will be involved in finalizing the interior design of the high school, curriculum planning, hiring a faculty and other key support persons, and getting all employees trained for an August 2007 opening. The state will cover four months of the principal's salary in the year before opening. The local fund will need to cover the other eight months, Assistant Principal Salary $ 45,254 One assistant principal will be needed six months in advance of the new school year to assist the principal with the myriad of tasks. The state does not provide funding prior to the year of opening for an assistant principal. Media Specialist Salary $ 30,678 The media specialist position is needed for six months to plan the media center and to select and order all of the media materials Technology Specialist Salary $ 30,678 The technology specialist position is also needed for six months to select, order, and install computers throughout the school as well as assist with the telecommunications design and installation, Guidance Counselor Salary $ 30,678 The guidance counselor position will be needed six months prior to the year of opening to help with course scheduling and to get all students enrolled in classes prior to the start of school. Athletic Director Salary $ 30,678 The athletic director position needs four months lead time to create an athletic program for the new school, establish athletic schedules for sports teams, hire coaching staff, and order athletic equipment. Secretary Salary $ 41,415 A 12 month secretarial position is needed to support the new principal. This position will be the next filled after the principal is on board. Data Manager Salary $ 9,826 The data manager position is needed for four months prior to the start of the 2007 -08 school year to create the NC Wise student database. Lead Custodian Position $ 8,449 A lead custodian position to oversee the placement of furniture, order janitorial supplies, and assist with the hiring of other custodial positions. Staff Development $ 75,000 The opening of the new school will require the new principal to create and manage several committees of district staff to plan and develop the high school curriculum. Many staff development activities will occur for the administration and selected faculty during the year before the school opens. Administrative Office Supplies $ 15,000 Office supplies will be needed for the principal and other staff during the planning year Telephones $ 10,000 A telephone budget is needed for the new principal to facilitate all planning phases for the new high school. Implementation of Seven Period Day at High Schools Additional Teacher Positions $ 490,848 Eight additional teacher positions are needed to begin to implement the seven - period day at both high schools. This initiative is part of the district's High School Reforni Plan. Extension of Workday for High School Teacher Assistants $ 33,466 The seven - period day will extend the workday for high school teacher assistants by 15 minutes per day. There are 32 teacher assistant positions that will be affected. Additional Textbook Funds $ 40,000 The addition of the seventh period will require providing additional textbooks and instructional materials to approximately half of the high school students Enhancements to Health and Safety Upgrade Pre -K Registered Nurse Position to Nurse Practitioner $ 3,287 Upgrading the current nurse position to a nurse practitioner will allow the Pre -K Program to provide families with additional health care opportunities, Currently, 17 of the 136 Head Start children do not have access to healthcare Other funds in the Pre -K Program will also be used to fund this effort. Add Crossing Guard at Scruggs Elementary School $ 14,948 This is a repeat request from Scroggs Elementary that was not funded last year. There are 270 students in the Scroggs walk zone A crossing guard is needed to ensure the safety of the students at arrival and dismissal times. Expand Employee Wellness Program $ 9,000 A survey of employees revealed a desire to have site -based wellness and improved nutrition opportunities, This request is based on $500 per site, including Lincoln Center, Transportation, and the Pre -K Program. Enhancement to Instructional Programs or Services Additional teacher position or two teacher assistant positions for each $ 245,424 middle school A joint budget request was received from middle schools for a mathematics specialist position and two teacher assistant positions. The district supports funding one or the other position and leaving the choice to the individual schools. The budget request represents four full -time teacher positions or eight teacher assistant positions .Justification of the mathematic specialist position is for additional support for students, particularly students with identified weaknesses in mathematics. Justification for the teacher assistant positions is to provide individualized student support and to complete core team assignments Haft -time Dual Language Teacher Assistant at Carrboro Elementary $ 14,446 A half -time Dual Language teacher assistant is needed for the 4 °i grade at Canboro Elementary. This half -time position will be combined with the allotted position so the third and fourth grade Dual Language teachers have full -time teacher assistants for 2006 -07. Dual Language Instructional Materials 10,000 The Dual Language classes need materials in both languages for the students. The English materials are purchased with textbook funds. Full -time Spanish Translator /Interpreter $ 60,262 A full -time, 12 -month Spanish translator /interpreter position is needed to better meet the needs of NCL,B at a more efficient cost to the district. The district currently uses contractors to provide the services. Expansion of After School Proficiency Classes $ 51,000 Schools have requested additional funds to extend the after school opportunities to 18 weeks for students who are not experiencing success. The request is to provide $3,000 more to elementary and middle schools (39,000), and $6,000 more to each high school ($12,000). Support for Implementation of Athletic Task Force Recommendations $ 10,000 Recommendations from the Athletic Task Force will require having district level monitoring of all school athletic programs to ensure that the recommendations from the task force are implemented. These funds would provide a stipend to someone to provide this service. Additional Assistant Coaches to Comply with Title IX $ 12,000 Additional assistant coaches for female sports are needed to bring the district into Title IX compliance. Women's lacrosse, volleyball, and field hockey are the only sports where the varsity and junior varsity teams have only one assistant coach position. This is one of the task force recommendations, Enhancements to Assessment, Data Management, and Information Technoloj4y Expansion of District Assessment System $ 20,000 District -wide assessment funding is currently not sufficient to support the planned testing for 2006 -07. Ten End -of- Course classes will be tested at the end of each quarter. Reading, math, and science will also be tested at three points in time for grades 3-8. This amount is needed in addition to the $99,000 already in the budget. Data Warehousing Soft♦vare $ 75,000 The district has numerous databases that hold information about programs, students, and staff The problem is that these individual databases are isolated and do not interact with each other A data warehouse stores multiple years of data from various systems and allows for analyses across software programs after the data is converted to a common software language, The district is currently reviewing possible warehousing software Entrancement of K -2 Assessment $ 14,500 The new state K -2 Assessment includes paper and pencil tests at all four quarters for all students. hr the past, there was only a need for fourth quarter tests. Funds are needed to cover both printing of the other quarter exams, and replacement DRA test kits, used either for new teachers or new positions, and required for the testing of reading. Pre -I{ and Spanish IPT Assessment Materials $ 2,450 The state requires IPT testing of students who are non - native speakers of English in grades K -12. The district supports testing the Pre -K students as well so that we can measure their growth and choose appropriate supports prior to entry to kindergarten. Spanish Achievement Test Materials $ 4,650 The Dual Language Program teaches children in two languages but, currently, assesses students only in English in any standardized way. We would like to measure the effectiveness of the academic skills and content of the Dual Language Program students in Spanish. We are not aware of such tests being available in Chinese. 5u' Grade French /Spanish Assessments $ 7,500 This year there was a new world languages curriculum that made our district exam for 511' grade obsolete, These tests would allow us to measure and track the effectiveness of teaching world languages in elementary school. District Client Assessment $ 27,750 The district has not done a climate survey since 2002, but it is in the strategic plan outcomes report, This budget request includes staff, parent and student surveys with up to ten optional questions for each site Staff Development for Technical Staff Upgrades $ 20,000 The MIS Department's training budget is currently $7,000; insufficient to support 13 MIS positions. Ongoing information technology training is required for both new and existing personnel to meet the changing technology skills required for their jobs. Internet Access for School Board Members $ 4,500 In order for the district to more efficiently distribute information, particularly school board meeting materials, to school board members each member will need to have Internet access in their homes. This required access should not be a financial obligation incurred by a board member. Tile district will use existing recurring capital funds to provide laptop computers as needed. Additional Staff or Resources to Support Increasing Number of Employees Human Resource Management System (HRMS) Clerk Position $ 41,415 This is a repeat request to fund a clerk level position in the Human Resources Office to manage the data input into the HRMS. Accurate and timely data input into this system will allow the district to more efficiently prepare the required external reports on our workforce. The HRMS also interfaces with the Payroll System to update employee data and eliminate the duplication of data entry by both Human Resources and Payroll. The HRMS is also crucial to staff recruitment and position control. Payroll Supervisor Position $ 47,600 The district's payroll office is staffed with the same number of payroll technicians as it had seven years ago. The payroll volume experienced by producing a biweekly and monthly payroll has outgrown the processing capacity of two positions. The Finance Director and Assistant Finance Director spend considerable hours each week assisting with the payroll function. A payroll supervisor position would provide day -to -day management over the payroll function and add another person to relieve the time pressure of meeting payroll 10 deadlines. A survey was done with other school districts that revealed that other districts in our budget range are operating with three or more payroll positions. Increase in Tuition Reimbursement Program for Teachers $ 10,000 The Board has heard previous discussion regarding the demand for additional funding in the Tuition Reimbursement Program. This funding request will allow more teachers to be reimbursed for furthering their education. TOTAL INCREASE IN EXPENDITURES $4,820,694 Revenues Local revenues must total $51,511,536 to support the $4,820,694 increase in budget priorities for the 2006 -07 school year. This represents a 10% increase over the current local budget. A $253 per pupil county appropriation rate will be required provided a $ 01 increase in the special district tax is approved. Without an increase in the special district tax, a $430 increase in the per pupil county appropriation rate would be needed. The state projection for the district's 2006 -07 enrollment is 11,162 students, which is 338 students more than the state's 2005 -06 projection The district's 40`h day enrollment report to the state for this year totaled 10,976 students so the projected growth for next year is 186 students over the current year's actual enrollment. This proposed budget plans for appropriating $950,000 in undesignated local fund balance. This is a reduction of $50,000 in fund balance required to balance the budget. This reduction is an effort by the district to reduce its dependency on fund balance to balance the local budget. This budget requests an increase of $.01 in the special district tax which is estimated to provide $761,893 in new revenue. This amount represents the value of $.01 in the 2005 -06 budget and will be modified when more a more accurate figure is received from the County Manager's Office. Other revenue sources in the local budget have been reviewed and modified to reflect realistic expectations for 2006 -07. The district expects a reduction in miscellaneous revenue based on the expectation that the federal budget will eliminate the opportunity to continue to file for Medicaid administrative reimbursements. Other Budgets The projected State budget for 2006 -07 is based on the planning allotment received from DPI and salary increases the Governor' is expected to propose. This planning budget is always increased after the actual enrollment is determined for the school year Several program areas receive only partial allotments in the planning budget and other state funds are not included at all, but are allotted as spent, such as ABC bonuses and non - contributory employee benefits The actual planning budget total is $50,217,617, however, based on the current year's actual state budget, a more realistic projection for next year is $54,383,999, which represents an overall 5 %, increase to the state budget. The Federal Grant budget is projected to decrease about $300,000 below the current year's budget due to anticipated reductions in Title I, Head Start, Vocational Education, and Educational Technology grants A $5.4 million federal budget is estimated. I This budget document includes an estimated Recurring Capital budget for 2006 -07 for both school districts in the amount of $2,290,258. This is the same total received in 2005 - 06; no official budget information has been received from the county to date.. Our district will receive about 60% of the recurring capital budget or an estimated $1,408,508. A preliminary Child Nutrition budget is included, This budget assumes the approval of an additional $.10 price increase for next school year and a subsidy from the local budget. The 3% salary increase is included and accounts for the majority of the 10% increase in the budget. Labor costs represent 39% of the budget and food costs 37% The Community Schools budget reflects a small 2% decrease from the current year's budget due to a projected reduction in after school and summer camp enrollment. Based on the current ,year's enrollment, the reduced budget is a more realistic expectation.. Summary Salary increase funding will be the major requirement for this budget cycle, along with planning funds for Carrboro High School and the implementation of a seven -period day at the two high schools. A $253 increase to the county per pupil fund rate and a one -cent increase in the special district tax are needed to fully fund the $4.8 million budget request.
