Mooresville Graded School System
Mooresville Board of Education Chairman Frank Fields, Superintendent
Dr. Bruce Boyles, and Finance Officer David Dutton attended the meeting to update the
commissioners on the Mooresville Schools.
Dr. Boyles said all of the system's schools had met expected goals, and 80% of them
were "Schools of Distinction." He said the system had a low -dropout rate, teacher turnover was
"going down," and ten percent of the teaching staff were nationally certified. Boyles said the
system had a pre-school that was operating, and during the past year, there had been increased
collaboration with Mitchell Community College in the Haskins Program. He said the goals for
the upcoming year would be in roofing repairs, staffing for the new school, and staying abreast
of technological changes.
Commissioner Tice asked when the new intermediate school would be finished
Boyles said the fall of 2005.
Commissioner Williams asked how much the system spent on mobile units.
Boyles said $144,000.
Commissioner Madison asked if the system had done any studies on the impact of the
new Lowe's Corporate Center.
Boyles said the system had already experienced "pop-up enrollment," and discussions
later revealed that the students were from families associated (vendors) with the Lowe's
Company. Dr. Bowles said it was difficult to obtain enough information to determine the future
impact.
