HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93011_0788 (2)Commissioner Robertson said the board tried to adhere to funding formulas to be fair. He
said sometimes, however, that method didn't put the resources where they were most needed.
Robertson said most of the past bonds were used to build facilities for future student populations and
not to assist with existing needs. He said that out of the county's total public school students,
Iredell-Statesville had 81.4% compared to Mooresville at 18.6%, but this didn't include the charter,
private and home -schooled children. He said projected student population figures out to year 2010
didn't deviate that much from the current percentages. Robertson voiced concern for the Mooresville
system, and its future plans, if the board of commissioners chose to use a per pupil method for the
bond amounts.
Commissioner Johnson said the commissioners had acted upon the school needs in the past,
and if the bonds were unsuccessful, the commissioners would continue to fund the systems. Johnson
said the schools would be built, but he would let the citizens decide if they wanted their taxes raised.

Bond with $36,400,000.00 being used for Iredeil-Statesville Schools, $8,230,000.00 for Mooresville
