If county commissioners agree that the Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools need hefty funding increases, taxpayers in Orange County will see a 4 cent tax increase. Sorry.
Of course, the funding increases would exceed what is needed to pay for enrollment growth. OCS grew by only 1.6 percent (112 students), while CH-CCS increased enrollment by 2.7 percent (301 students), according to first month average daily membership figures published by DPI.
