employment contracts with Iredell Memorial Hospital. He said 254 degrees were also
conferred making this the largest graduating class in MCC's history. In addition, he
said 345 General Education Development (GED) diplomas were presented.
700 Iredell-Statesville (I -S) Schools: Dr. David Cash (School Board
Chairman), Dr. Terry Holliday (Superintendent), Kay Fulp (Finance Director), and Dr.
Kenny Miller (Maintenance Director) attended the meeting to discuss the I -S Schools'
budget.
Blumenstein reviewed the recommended budget for next year as follows:
3.72%. Blumenstein said the per pupil rate would increase from $1,263 to $1,310 or
Dr. Cash said employee morale was better due to facility improvements. He
said it was hoped the school boards and county could continue in writing joint
resolutions requesting better state funding methods for the schools. Cash said the
system was implementing a merit pay system for the staff rather than relying on cost of
living increases.
Dr. Holliday said that contrary to local newspaper articles, there was less
turnover now than in past years. He said a full-time person was devoted to recruitment,
and with the exception to systems in Mecklenburg, Chapel Hill and Forsyth,
Iredell-Statesville was just as competitive as other units in salaries and benefits.
Holliday said Iredell-Statesville was one of the top ten counties in the state as far as
growth.
The school representatives then requested for the Facilities Task Force to
reconvene.
The commissioners agreed, and stated that Commissioner Steve Johnson and
Commissioner Marvin Norman would remain as the county's representatives. The
county manager and superintendent were asked to arrange a date and time for the
meeting.
700 Mooresville Graded School System: Individuals attending the meeting to
represent the Mooresville schools were Board of Education Chairman Karen Hart,
