IREDELL-STATESVILLE SCHOOLS - FUNDING FOR EAST IREDELL MIDDLE SCHOOL:
Members of the Iredell-Statesville School Board were present with staff members from the school
system. Chairman Sloan recognized Alan Hix, chairman of the school board, who asked Dr. Register to
proceed with the request. Dr. Register said bids have been received for the East Iredell Middle
School, which is a part of the merger plan, and bids have been accepted contingent upon authoriza-
tion from the county commissioners to fund this project. The cost presented by Dr. Register and
staff is based upon the bids received for the project, which is as follows:
Land
$ 183,669

They are hoping to begin the work in late March or early April and this will allow them to
complete the project by July 1993. Time is of the essence since they want to be ready to enter the
new school in the Fall of 1993, Dr. Register said.
Chairman Hix said the bids represent a price of $50 per sq. ft., which is complete with the
furniture installed.
The Iredell-Statesville School Board is requesting a letter of intent for the fiscal year 92-93
funding of $4,605.612 and current year's funding of $2,300,137. (This year's amount is in the 91-92
budget.)
