B. SCHOOLS ITEM
1. Proposed Third High School In The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools System
The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) indicated during its April 24, 2003 work session plans to conduct a public hearing on several aspects of the proposed third high school in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) system, immediately preceding the May 27 planning-related items. The school-related public hearing will commence at 7:00 p.m. The hearing would have two primary purposes:
1. Afford citizens the opportunity to comment on the proposal to reallocate $12.8 million in public school bonds approved by voters in November 2001 from Elementary School #10 to High School #3. The BOCC could reallocate 2001 bond funds for Elementary #10 to High School #3, necessitating other funding for Elementary #10.
2. Provide citizens a chance to comment on any other aspect of the proposed high school, including the CHCCS Board of Education preferred site on Rock Haven Road and Smith Level Road near Culbreth Road.
Following the conclusion of the public hearing on the above, the Board will conduct the public hearing on the planning items noted below.
