<br />General Fund Program Funding Matrix
<br />
<br />The General Fund Program Funding Matrix, which categorizes each County
<br />program (General Fund only) according to service and funding requirements,
<br />was highlighted. Programs were categorized into the following categories:
<br />(1) Mandated programs with mandated funding; (2) Mandated programs with
<br />discretionary funding; and (3) Discretionary programs with discretionary
<br />funding.
<br />
<br />Mr. Day responded to a number of questions regarding funding
<br />recommendations for various programs. He explained that the Forest Service
<br />is responsible for the forestry program in Cabarrus County under a
<br />cooperative agreement with the State. Major program areas included forest
<br />fire control, forest management, information and education and forest pest
<br />control. Also, Mr. Day explained that the $100,000.00 appropriation to
<br />Cabarrus Community Care Plan had reduced the amount of money spent by the
<br />County on Medicaid services.
<br />
<br />Cabarrus County Schools
<br />
<br />The following representatives from the Cabarrus County Schools (CCS)
<br />joined the Board for discussion of the FY 2007 CCS budget requests: Liz
<br />Poole, Chair of the Cabarrus County Board of Education; School Board Members
<br />Lynn Shue and Wayne Williams; Dr. Harold Winkler, Superintendent; and
<br />Jeanette Trexler, Public Relations.
<br />
<br />Dr. Winkler expressed support for the FY 2006-07 budget as presented by
<br />County Manager, John Day. He utilized a powerpoint presentation to
<br />illustrate the funding requests based on the Cabarrus County Schools' mission
<br />statement. Information outlined in the presentation included the following:
<br />(1) CCS mission statement; (2) Future challenges; (3) Changing demographics;
<br />(3) Graduation rates; (4) Teacher training; (5) Salaries for teachers,
<br />assistant principals and principals; (6) Reading program; (7) Safe schools;
<br />(8) Unfunded mandates; and (9) A comparison of math and reading scores.
<br />Finally, Dr. Winkler encouraged support of the FY 2007 budget as proposed.
<br />
<br />There was a general discussion on such items as teacher salaries,
<br />recruitment efforts and pending legislation regarding renewal of licenses for
<br />school bus drivers.
