RE: 2019-2020 Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Budget Request
The Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) Board of Education is submitting its 2019-2020 Budget
Request documents to you for the Orange County Board of Commissioners consideration. The district
is requesting $5,530,872 for the next school year, of which $3,598,872 (65%) is for continuation
funding to cover normal operations and the State's anticipated salary & benefit increases. The other
component is $1,932,000 of expansion items that would provide the Board with critical recurring
resources to help sustain important programs for our students as well as an additional benefit item for
our employees.
The official action taken by the CHCCS Board is below and includes the appropriate authorization for
the County Commissioners to increase the district tax, if needed, to fully fund their request:
Be it, therefore, resolved that the Board of Education approves the prepared budget request
and attached document and directs the Superintendent to submit its budget request to the
Board of County Commissioners. Be it further resolved, the Board also authorizes the Orange
County Manager and the Orange County Board of Commissioners to the increase of the district
tax by$0.0470 per$100 property valuation (up to a total assessment of$0.2488 per$100 of
property valuation), as needed, to fully fund our budget request.
We are prepared to provide details and answer any questions related to the request at the scheduled
meeting on April 23, 2019. Please let me know what additional materials you may need for that
meeting or if you have any questions.

Strategic Plan Focus Areas
• Student Success: This area addresses the academic, social and emotional
capacities of students. The Student Success goals assist students in exploring,
defining and solving complex problems; pursuing their unique interests, passions
and curiosities; and contributing to the community through dialogue service and
leadership—all while supporting to the child's well-being.
Family & Community Engagement: Schools are successful when
parents, educators and communities lock arms and work together for the benefit of
students. Chapel Hill-Carrboro community stakeholders are crucial partners in
student success, and, as such, are actively engaged in productive and equitable
two-way communications.
Employee Experience: The greatest resource of any organization is its
people. Employee experience refers to all people, processes and systems related
to an organization's employees. It includes the skills, knowledge and experience
that represent an investment in people. CHCCS is committed to the growth,
development and care of its employees.
• Organizational Effectiveness: Education of children is the core mission of
the school district. Ensuring all children's success is only possible if the
organization is completely aligned and focused on student academic needs,
behavioral support, and social and emotional growth. CHCCS is committed to
improving our organizational effectiveness and culture to ensure all children
succeed.

CHCCS Superintendent's Budget Request 2019-2020
Overview Budget Outlook— FY 2019-2020
The 2019-20 Superintendent's budget focuses alignment of Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Public Schools'
current operation and programs with our strategic plan goals. Our focus is to maximize our revenues
and provide strong instructional programs for our students. As such the request is presented asking
the county for $3.6 million for continuation funds and limited expansion funding items of$1.9
million. The District is committed to focused and flexible resource alignment to ensure our
strategic goals are achieved. We do not yet have firm state projections related to funding impacts
however our continuation requirements are based on collaborative data from across the state. These
continuation requirements break down as a net $123,780 for student growth of 30 students (20
CHCCS and 10 Charter schools), $237,715 for operational costs for inflationary impacts and a net
$3,237,377 for operating and salary&benefit projections.
The total projected revenues for the 2019-20 school year are presented at $187,618,850. This includes
a projected funding required of $8,820,412 (5.0%) for continuation items across all funds for the
district that correlates primarily with projected salary and benefit increases. Of the total revenues,
approximately 45.9 percent, or $86,086,455 comprises local current expense resources that the county
provide from both the appropriation and the supplement tax and includes the adjustments for
continuation and expansion from the paragraph above. Capital resources are presented at $6,870,690.
These funds are consistent with the funding identified in the draft Capital Improvement Plan for 2019
as provided by the County. We are grateful for the capital investments you have made in our district.
We remain on schedule for the opening of the addition at Chapel Hill High School in the fall of 2020
funded from those specific bond funds (not reflected in these revenue figures). Our Enterprise funds
are reflected As-Is, since they will have to adjust operations to meet revenues. Other sources include
funds received from grants,NC PreK,and other direct funding sources.

State Funds Revenues
The state of North Carolina is in the first year of the next biennium budget cycle. We have no
concrete data at this time; however, we do anticipate continued work towards increasing teacher pay
towards the state goal to be the top in the Southeast region over the next several years. Currently we
have included a projected average increase is 5% (last year teacher average increase was 6.5%). The
state also continues to have real shortfalls in funds available for retirement and hospitalization. We are
using the projected rates based on recent history that reflect an increase to the employer's portion for
hospitalization to increase by 4%to $6,354 ($250)per employee and the retirement rate to increase to
19.34%,which is also a 1.5% increase from 18.86%this year. These benefit increases will impact our
purchasing power in our federal grant funds, child nutrition services, community schools and local
funds.
93%of our State funds are used for personnel costs. The remainder is used for classroom supplies and
materials,transportation and other supporting services.
With state revenues being the primary support for staffing,the district will be paying close attention to
any legislative changes that could impact our staffing and service delivery in order to compensate for
potential loss of state fund revenue. Our school staffing is based on formulas to ensure fair and
equitable distribution of staff and support across all our schools and we will be focused on the
alignment of those staffing resources with our strategic plan and goals while providing some flexibility
for schools to create the individual environments required that will best meet our students needs and
help them achieve success.
Local Funds Revenues—FY 2019-20
We continue to evaluate all aspects of district operations as we align resources to ensure we continue
to provide the students we serve with the best possible instructional programming possible. As you
are aware, the district offers a wide variety of opportunities for our students and parents from dual-
language programming, fine arts opportunities, rigorous academic coursework aimed to challenge and
engage all students. The funding requested will enable the district to continue its mission and
investment in the future of our students. In addition our work in aligning our resources with our
strategic plan will help solidify the investment of resources towards continued improvement of our
equity efforts and instructional programs.
This budget request reflects our needs and the funding we feel are necessary to continuing our existing
instructional operations and success. We are fully committed to our partnership with Orange County
Living Wage to create a more just and sustainable local economy. As a Living Wage Certified
Employer, we are required to certify eligibility every two years. Our most recent certification is valid
through January 4, 2020. The hourly rate in place at the year of certification applies for two
consecutive years. Although the Orange County Living Wage annual living wage increase for re-
certification in 2020 has not yet been determined; the living wage for 2019 is $14.25, or $12.75 with
employer-provided health insurance. After a thoughtful analysis of our current wages and other
employer compensation, we are confident that the proposed three-percent increase for classified and
other staff contained in our continuation funding request will be adequate for our re-certification.
In addition to the county appropriation, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Public Schools will receive
approximately $882 thousand from several other sources such as Fines & Forfeitures, tax revenues
(sales & ABC), indirect cost and miscellaneous. We are also proposing that the Board allocate $1.5
million of fund balance so as to decrease the balance currently maintained to be closer to the target
requested by the county commissioners. It should be noted however that the use of those funds would
leave the district with only 1 month operating cash should any emergencies arise. Given recent events
CHCCS Superintendent's Budget Request 2019-2020
such as the dual hurricanes this fall, using these funds does give us pause related to this allocation;
however, this request reflects the effort to maximize the use of our resources encouraged the
commissioners. The intent would be to use these funds towards 1-time capital outlay and technology
related needs across the district that is not part of our one-to-one capital project.
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Continuation Requirements—FY 2019-20
The following provide some details related to the districts' annual continuing operational needs and
how those needs align with our students.

FY 2014-15 FY 2015-16 FY 2016-17 FY 2017-18 FY 2018-19 Projected FY
2019-20
Currently for FY 2018-19 the County provides general appropriation funding at approximately$4,165
per pupil for a net total of 12,387 public school students through the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Public
Schools budget. The actual students for FY 2018-19 is split at 12,335 (98.6%) for CHCCS students
being served (including approximately 250 out-of-district students) and 169 (1.4%) charter school
students. The County provides funding net of the out-of-district students and it is based on projected
NCDPI figures for the district. The charter school students are spread through 22 different charter
schools and across several counties. This data shows that CHCCS is the public school choice
destination for our families and we are very proud of that choice.
Growth projections have total county student numbers remaining relatively stable with minimal gain.
State-wide there is evidence of a declining school age population from birthrate data. As such we
expect relatively flat student population overall. Total projected public school students for FY 2019-
20 for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City schools are 12.534 with CHCCS projected at 12,355 students
(98.6%) and the charter schools projected at 179 students (1.4%). We are requesting funds for a
CHCCS Superintendent's Budget Request 2019-2020
projected 30 student increase of$123,780. The CHCCS only projection used is the DPI projection and
that is 3 below the county's SAPFO projection of 12,358.
Local Continuation Funding Requirements
The incremental local continuation budget requirement for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
Public Schools is $3,598,872, which is a 7.0% increase to maintain current operational
services — AS IS. This is comprised of three main sections: Student Growth impacts,
Operational/Inflationary impacts, and Salary/Benefit legislative impacts. The highlights of our base
budget requirements to sustain our current level of operations are as follows:
A) Net funding required for students at the current per-pupil funding of$4,126 would be a
net increase of funds of $123,780. That is comprised of a projected increase CHCCS
students from the prior year of 20 and an increase in charter school students of 10. The net
change in students for CHCCS is projected using the state projection at this time for
consistency from year-to-year. Overall the district has relatively stable student numbers from
year-to-year(see prior section).
B) The requirement for operational costs is a net increase of $237,715. Operational costs
include items for utilities, maintenance, supplies, and others required for district facilities as
well as supplies & materials for classrooms funded from local resources. We used the
Consumers Price Index (CP1 Dept. of Labor — Dec 2018) for our projections. This section
reflects the following:
1) Inflationary costs for operations from FY 2018-19 are $198,613 that reflects the
application of the CPI increase of 1.9%applied to our local non-salary expenditures.
2) Projected increase in utility/energy costs are projected at $39,102 and reflect the CPI
average increase in this category of 1.1%.
3) The district has no new square footage coming on-line in FY 2019-20. As such we
are not requesting any continuation funds for operational costs this year.
4) We continue to work on our sustainability initiatives related to being good stewards of
our resources and environments. As we achieve savings in these areas they are
reinvested towards our sustainability efforts.
C) Salary and Benefit requirements for local staff (est. 888 FTE) total $3,237,377. This
breaks down as follows:
• The state appears intent to increasing salaries this next year for teachers and for
classified staff. Teacher's average increase is projected at 5.0% and classified staff at
3%. This impact on locally paid staff would be $1,821,339 with the FICA benefit
portion being 139,332. This also includes the impact on the local teacher supplement.
This request also ensures the district meets the requirements of providing a living
wage for its employees under policy 6424/7061.
• There is currently projected to be a 4.0% increase required for employer's
hospitalization. This will increase that cost by $250 per person to $6,354, for a total
additional cost of$222,175 for local staff.
• The other portion of the benefit increase is related to the impact on the state's
retirement rate increasing by 1.5% to 19.34%, which is a percent of salary. The
retirement rate impact is an increase of$1,054,531 for local staff.
CHCCS Superintendent's Budget Request 2019-2020
Expansion Funding Requests from Local Funds
We are requesting minimal funds for program expansion or new programs in the district at this time.
Our primary focus this year will be on aligning our resources with our strategic plan and ensuring all
are maximized. The following are some points of pride from our work this past year:
• CHCCS has the highest average SAT and ACT scores in North Carolina.
• Our cohort graduation rate continues to outpace the state at 91.6%.
• We continue to average 20 students being selected to the Governor's School.
• We provide 21" Century learning opportunities for our students through our Academy of
Information Technology, Google Apps online learning accounts for all students,
technology rich classrooms,and certified technology specialists in all schools.
• We offer and continue to expand our advanced learning opportunities through AP courses,
gifted specialists throughout the district and our Middle College at Durham Tech.
• We provide our students with Fine Arts opportunities and have state and national award
winning programs in choral,band,orchestra,drama,ceramics, and visual arts.
• We continue to strive for a safe & healthy environment for our students by providing
school nurses, school social workers, counselors,resource officers (secondary schools) for
all our schools.
• We also emphasize healthy living initiatives through our high nutrition standards and
physical activity commitments.
We know the programs we have implemented over the past few years and continue to strengthen will
help our students achieve great things. We are looking within existing resources to sustain this
upward momentum and are not looking to the county to provide any changes required for staffing in
the district for FY 2019-20. We do request funds to help us accelerate our work surrounding equity,
literacy, crisis and mental health services, school safety and expanded academic and enrichment
programing for our struggling students. Below are the efforts for which we request county support
through additional funds:
1. Increasing our benefit offerings for our staff to include up to 4 weeks of Maternity/Paternity
leave for qualifying staff. Based on our current average numbers annually, $450,000 would
provide funding to support at least 85 employees at 90% or 75 employees at 100%. This
would provide CHCCS with a competitive benefit package to help us recruit and retain high
quality teachers and staff.
2. Creating a Comprehensive Social/Emotional programming to build a continuum of
services for our youth would require$232,000. Students need to understand how to regulate
their emotions,build positive relationships,make responsible decisions, and understand what
it means to care about self and others. Through additional financial support, Student Services
will be able to create a social and emotional(SEL)district-wide program that will support the
development of aforementioned skills which promotes student success. We will use these
funds to create programming that helps with trauma and socially sensitive training,restorative
practices and provides the supports our students need to learn in a safe and supportive
environment.
3. Core Equity and Culturally relevant literacy content training for the district. This work is
the cornerstone of our strategic plan and efforts to ensure our district closes all achievement
gaps. We will be collaborating with Orange County Schools in this work so as to create the
cohesive understanding surrounding equity our community expects. We are requesting
CHCCS Superintendent's Budget Request 2019-2020
$200,000 to support the CHCCS district work surrounding equity and culturally relevant
curriculum, specifically literacy in the school year 2019-2020.
4. Expanded summer programming for elementary school and exceptional children students in
need of extra academic supports at $300,000. As is evidenced on the graphic below we are
seeing data that shows a significant drop in students' literacy skill comprehension over the
summer months. Note the drops between EOY and BOY results (84 to 71 —summer of 2017
and 82 to 65 - summer of 2018). We want to offer an expanded summer program that will
focus on instructional effort as well as targeted enrichment areas to help with our literacy gaps
we see in our data. This should enable our students to start the next school year ready to learn
and on or close to grade level on day one.

5. In addition to the programming requests above our district sees a critical need for immediate
work related to School Safety. This request will help us implement phase I at $750,000 of
this work by immediately getting the following items in our schools or upgraded to working
and current equipment. This will be a 3 year project containing the following items:
• Emergency digital radio systems to ensure all can be notified and communicate during
any school emergency. We currently have radio equipment that is antiquated. Schools
and resource officers cannot communicate effectively with first responders.
• Intercom systems (Interior and Exterior) upgraded or repaired to ensure clear
communication is available in our schools for emergencies and announcements.
• ADA compliance upgraded and implementations to ensure we meet all ADA
compliance concerns specifically related to emergency response aspects of this work.
(Stairwell evacuations are an example).
• Continued work to enhance our door access control systems and identification systems
to ensure our schools remain safe and secure for students and staff.
The total of these Expansion Request items is $1,932,000. Through our work with strategic plan
alignment with a focus on providing some flexibility in resource allocation in relation to that plan we
feel we can further maximize the districts resources in more targeted efforts. This will allow for each
school to meet their unique needs and align with their school improvement plans. However, to jump
start that work, ensure we can support our student's needs and continue our improvements for the
safety of our schools we respectively ask the county for funding related to the above expansion items.
CHCCS Superintendent's Budget Request 2019-2020
Federal and Other Revenues
Currently we are assuming flat funding for federal grant funds and planning for as-is for our other
grant funds. We are planning for our enterprise funds to maintain consistent operations and adjust as
may be needed for any salary and benefit increases. We are cautious about what the overall federal
education budget may mean for public schools. The Federal budget is moving towards a more
competitive grant funding model rather than straight entitlement type funding. Given our district's
demographic data and academic achievement this could mean less availability of federal funds. We do
not have sufficient information to adjust our revenue outlook further at this time, but we continue to
monitor those developments.
Our federal funds are used to support our Exceptional Children programs primarily(59%) and our at-
risk schools who qualify for Title I targeted assistance funding (26%). We also receive funding
through Title II (4%) to support our professional development efforts with our staff to ensure we have
high quality professionals working with our students. There are also supplemental funds for Limited
English programs (5%) and Homeless students (2%) as well as some support for CTE programs in the
district(2%).
Child Nutrition Services through the current contract service provider will balance their budget within
any projected revenues. This service area is an enterprise fund so it is intended to be self-supporting,
however it is currently supported through some local funding. The current service contract expires in
June 2020 so the services will be reviewed during the next fiscal year.
Community Schools offers After School Care programming in our elementary schools. It is also an
enterprise fund intended to be self-supporting. They provide care and educational/enrichment
programs for our students in a safe and supportive environment. They will manage their budget within
their revenues.
Below is a summary of our projected revenues and change from the current year:

CHCCS Superintendent's Budget Request 2019-2020
Summary FY 2019-20 Budget Request
The Board of Education's funding desire is to help sustain our upward trends in student performance
by continuing to engage, empower, and inspire our students and staff through our instructional
programs and service delivery. The total District Appropriation request of$5,530,872 would help us
greatly continue our important work thru sustaining operations with continuation funds of$3,598,872,
to fund our students and staff s continuation "as-is" needs and our limited expansion funding
recommendation of$1,932,000 to ensure we can keep our programs and schools moving forward.
We are excited about our plans for deliberate EQUITY training throughout the district and county
with a joint effort with both school systems as well as our own CHCCS efforts to integrate the equity
lens throughout our district from operational levels to the schools and the classrooms. We know these
efforts will help us change predictable outcomes for our students who are victims of the achievement
gaps.
All of our work will be tied to our strategic plan and a huge cornerstone piece surrounding EQUITY
across all aspects of our work is going to help our students, staff and community flourish. By
providing our students with expanded opportunities for academic enrichment through summer school,
extended day, clubs and other activities we know we are going to make great achievement gains. By
emphasizing the WHOLE CHILD thru our social/emotional programming efforts under Student
Services we'll also be adding that extra support our students and parents need to be successful in the
classroom and beyond.
Our constant evaluation of our facility needs helps us to always make sure we are putting student and
staff safety first. Our safety initiative will enable us to ensure we are creating that safe and welcoming
environment for our students and enable us to respond well in any crisis.
We continue to turn a critical eye towards our existing programs and resources while employing new
and innovative programs to engage our most at-risk youth and provide them the tools and
opportunities they will need to be successful in life. At the same time CHCCS is implementing
programs that address the needs of our most accelerated learners so that all of our students can achieve
at their full potential. Expanding the opportunities for our students is also critical for our students and
families as continues to be exhibited in the fantastic work and collaborative efforts with the CHCCS
Foundation, our PTA Council and other active advisory groups.
It is crucial that we have the resources and strong partnerships necessary to offset any challenges while
continuing to meet our students' needs in offering high-quality instructional programs. Offering a
competitive benefit plan for our employees to include maternity/paternity leave would ensure we can
continue to put high quality instructional staff in front of our students.
We will serve over 12,350 students in our schools ready to learn this fall and we remain committed to
serving each and every one of them. The support of our parents, community, business partners, the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Commissioners and others is crucial to help our students succeed.
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Education of Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools
submits its budget request and the authorization to increase the special district tax by
$0.0470 per $100 property valuation (up to a total assessment of $0.2488 per $100 of
property valuation), as needed, to fully fund our budget request to the Orange County
Manager and Orange County Board of Commissioners.
Thank you for considering our funding request for fiscal year 2019-2020.

*1: Specific local revenues if not being used for general operations and those that are restricted in use should be reflected in Other
Revenues-Fund 8 and not presented as part of the Fund 2 Local Revenues. We will be adjusting our records for this change in
subsequent years. We are presenting in the budget document so as to provide the consistency for comparison purposes with what has
been presented in the past.
*2: There is some concern that the county fund balance target of 5.5%would be low for our district's local operating budget. We
would prefer to ensure we have at least 1 month of operating funds available which is closer to an 8%target at minimum. Currently
the Board is committed to using the prior years'fund balance accumulation to offset capital outlay/improvement needs in the district
in lieu of asking for expansion funds related to that work. That committment would bring the fund balance down to 1 month's
operating funds at the end of FY 2019-2020.
