for four lower classrooms, which will cost $120,000. This will
make the building handicapped accessible. They have been told that
they cannot remodel the building without meeting the ADA

eliminating steps, and the lift.

This was a school board meeting time for ISS and was inconvenient.
Chairman Long said he would talk with his board members and
get back to the county commissioners regarding a meeting time.
Commissioner Johnson inquired about a recent trip to San
Francisco that was rumored to have been made by members of the
school board. He wanted to know if this is true, and if so, where
the money came from and the board's justification of this
expenditure. Commissioner Long said the National School Board
Association has four meetings a year. This year they were in
Orlando, New Orleans, Anaheim and San Francisco. There were six
people who went this year; none went last year. They spent $7600
this year on the transportation. They spent $3170 for
registration and $696 for food and parking. Commissioner Long said
he wished they could attend every year and learn about what is
going on.
Commissioner Johnson said he thought it was an extravagant
expenditure. Mr. Long said he thought it depended upon whether or
not anything was learned by the persons who attended.
MOORESVILLE 6RADHD SCHOOL DISTRICT: Mr. Frank Fields,
chairman of the Mooresville Graded School District, and Dr. Jane
Carrigan, superintendent of the MGSD, and Laura Thompson were
present to discuss the budget for 95-96.
Mr. Mashburn said the MGSD has been given the same percentage
increase on current expense. Their request for Capital Outlay was
greater than they received. This was funded to them on the basis
of ADM as in the past.
Mr. Fields expressed their appreciation and asked Dr. Carrigan
to handle the presentation. She said they had used about 80% of
their local tax for Capital Outlay. Their class sizes are
continuing to grow. She said some prices they have had on building
have been as high as $90 s.f.
The growth in the southern end of the county continues to grow
and so does their enrollment. They are not taking any more out -of -
district students unless they have brothers and sisters who are
already there.
