RE: Agenda Items for Joint Meeting with the Chapel Hill School
Board and County Commissioners
DATE: March $, 2001
The Orange County Board of Education met on March 5, 2001 and
discussed the upcoming joint meeting. of heath. Srhaol_ liaards and the..
Commissioners. The Board would like to have the following items
considered for discussion during our meeting:
1. School Nurses
• Our Board has made a concerted effort for several years now to
have a nurse in each of our schools. There has been some
discussion about this issue in a small committee that included
representatives from the school systems, the Health Department,
and Commissioners. Can the Commissioners give feedback on
providing assistance to both school systems in fulfilling the goal
of having a nurse for each school?
2. Impact Fees
• There has been a considerable amount of work done on the
Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance and it appears to be moving
toward closure. We would appreciate some feedback on how the
process is being received throughout the county, and when a final
decision will be made.
3. Alternative School
• We are interested in any discussions about an individual or joint
effort and support to address this need.
4. The Budget Process
• An open discussion about the current budget process and the
possibility of some adjustments.
5. Upcoming Bond Referendum
• An opportunity to discuss the needs of our system in the bond
package.
