Update on Hoffner Family Request for Property to be Released to Rowan County:
Mashburn said Iredell-Statesville Schools Deputy Superintendent Dr. Steve Lane had sent an e-
mail regarding the Hoffner family's concerns about their children having to switch schools due
to their property being in Iredell County instead of Rowan County. He said Dr. Lane had talked
with nine other counties to find out how they resolved these types of situations. Mashburn said
it was learned that most systems with decreasing student populations wanted to retain the
students, while units with increasing student populations seemed to be more inclined to release
them. He said it was also learned that the state money would follow the child, while the local
money would not.
