DEC 1 a 1994
parents, a couple of school board members, Mrs. Haire, and
architects. The plan did change as a result of that committee.
Commissioner Madison questioned the area set aside for office
space for the principal's and staff's offices. He felt the East
Iredell school was over -built in the area of the offices and hoped
that this would not happen again at this site, he said. The school
officials said that state guidelines require square footage for
administration. The plan has to be approved by state architects.
Chairman Haire inquired if they thought the school would come
in within budget? Dr. Register said he thought they would be
pretty close. The place where they feel they are straining the
budget is in the dining room and some of those areas that are being
built for the future growth.
Commissioner Johnson asked if they thought they had the
kitchen, dining, etc., facilities large enough to accommodate the
maximum number of children that will attend this school? Dr.
Register said the areas were designed for 850 students. They are
providing classrooms for 650. They went ahead and put in extra
toilet facilities now to take care of the future growth.
Commissioner Madison said he thinks it is wise to build the
areas larger where they are discussing, but he thinks the area for
the administrative offices is grossly over -designed. That may be
what the State has required; but that's too much space tied up for
administrative use. He feels if the office space is there, the
personnel will be put there.
Commissioner Madison said if the school board has to come back
for a budget amendment for this project, there would be one "no"
vote as long as the large administrative area is there. He thinks
they are building "frills." Dr. Nance said the administrative area
is about 2/3 what the state recommended.
The next meeting is set for January 24, 1994. Mr. Mashburn
would let the school officials know if there is any information
needed by the county commissioners. Questions were asked about the
report from the Iredell-Statesville school Committee, it was
decided they would ask the committee to come to the meeting on
January 24th to give their final report.
Dr. Register introduced William Barnard, their new finance
officer.
ADJOURN: Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting at
approximately 8:30 p.m.
