V. Chairman Boone mentioned an article he had read that said
people who had Year Round School did not find it effective.
Chairman Long said they did not think that Year Round School was
what they needed. Skip McColl said they just had wanted to look at
this for another option for students.
Commissioner Stewart mentioned spending the money for Year
Round School versus air conditioning. Bill Long said it would take
four or five years of these funds to air condition a school. She
said she would like to have time to digest the information given to
them at this meeting.
V. Chairman Boone said he was not in a position to make a
decision tonight. He thinks it is good to have the sessions.
Commissioner Madison said the county commissioners were going
to have to establish a funding mechanism for doing the South
Elementary School in the next couple of years. He said he was
amazed with some of the features of the East Middle School. He
wondered who was responsible for the building plans. Dr. Register
said the board of education will have the responsibility of
approving the plans, but the county commissioners may have an
invitation to come and view the plans with the school board.
Dr. Register said if they were to redraw the office area at
East Middle, they probably would save some square footage in the
office area, but he thought there are some very nice features in
the school.
Commissioner Madison inquired when they were going to have the
End of Year Testing results. These results have already been given
to the county commissioners. Dr. Register will send a copy to Mr.
Madison.
Dr. Register gave a report on the Southern Association
Accreditation status. There are three things they look at which
are (1) Drop -outs, (2) Test Scores, and (3) Attendance.
Commissioner Boone discussed some of the criteria he had heard in
reference to accreditation status.
The two boards decided to cancel the mid-May meeting since the
school board will be presenting their formal budget.
There was a discussion of the resignation on the School Task
Force of Mr. Bob Privette. The consensus was that the school board
should appoint another member since the resigning member was a
school board appointee.
Chairman Long of the school board said the county
commissioners would have the completed line item budget within a
week. They hope to know soon what they can expect from the county
commissioners. They want to begin hiring teachers as early as
possible. The best teacher candidates are gone in May, Long said.
ADJOURN: The meeting adjourned at 9:10 on a motion from
Commissioner Madison.
