At this time, we would like to acknowledge that the Chairman
and Vice Chairman of the Iredell County Board of Commissioners and
the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Iredell-Statesville Board of
Education met on July 8, 1993, to discuss differences of opinions
as requested by the iredell County Board of Commissioners on July
6, 1993.
This Board of Education continues to believe it is right in
its handling of the mutual exchange or freedom of choice issues.
We continue to believe it is necessary for all of the students in
Iredell County to attend the school district in which they reside.
At this time, we reaffirm the position of this Board that a
mutual exchange or freedom of choice plan inside this school system
or between school systems is not a possibility.
However, based on concerns of this Board of Education, parents
in our community, and our local County Commission, we plan to
review and consider changing the portion of our policy dealing with
the separation of younger brothers and sisters from older brothers
and sisters.
This Board agrees in principle with the formation of a study
committee. While there are many details to be worked out, we feel
that an independent committee directed to assess the effectiveness
of our school system which provides us with ways to improve our
school system would be beneficial to all concerned.
This Board realizes that good communication is an important
part of our business. Our chairman, vice-chairman, superintendent,
as well as other members of our board and staff will meet quarterly
with the Iredell County Board of Commissioners during the 1993-1994
school year in an attempt to keep them more informed.
We respectfully request that the Iredell County Board of
Commissioners fund the Iredell-Statesville Board of Education's
continuation budget for 1993-1994.
Sincerely,
(s) William A. Long
William A. Long, Chairman
Iredell-Statesville Board of Education
