Sara Haire, Chairman, Iredell County Board of Commissioners,

along with David Boone, Vice Chairman of the Commissioners, and
Godfrey Williams, Vice Chairman of the School Board, have agreed to
the following:
1. Establish a study committee to examine the educational
system of Iredell County and report back to the joint boards on
ways to improve the effectiveness of our school system. The study
committee shall consist of nine Iredell County citizens. Each
board shall, after consulting the other board, appoint three
members. The remaining members shall be appointed by these six
members.' The study committee may, subject to the approval of the
commissioners, employ an outside consultant to work with and report
to the commission. Any fees shall be paid by the County. The
school system shall provide information or access to information as
requested by the study committee.
2. The county commissioners and the school board will meet
quarterly to review goals, discuss problem areas, and work out
solutions to the problems that are common to the two boards. These
meetings should be in a workshop format with a published agenda.
3. In addition to the annual budget request booklet such as
has been heretofore submitted, the school board shall submit a
detailed line item budget to the county commissioners along with
other financial information as may be requested by the county
commissioners.
4. The commissioners shall hold one or more budget work
sessions with the school board. The school board, without coercion
from any other board and as a good will gesture, will review and
consider changing the portion of their transfer policy dealing with
