REQUESTS APPROVAL TO USE THE HIGH SCHOOL'S CONSTRUCTION FUND
BALANCE FOR ADDITIONAL NEEDS: Mooresville Schools' Superintendent, Dr. Bruce
Boyles, said Phase II of the renovations to the high school would be finished in approximately six
weeks. He estimated that between $500,000 - $1,000,000 might remain due to favorable bids and
by not having to use contingency funds. Boyles said some of the students at the high school had
been involved in the budget process, and they had recommended that improvements be made on
the restrooms. Dr. Boyles said the high school had experienced six additions, but none had ever
included bathroom renovations. He requested for the Mooresville system to be allowed to use the
high school's construction fund balance for the following items.
1. Restroom renovations.
