and how she was supposed to address her constituents when they questioned this disparity and
the need for more educational facilities in the southern end. Tice said she agreed with Mr.
Williams that a school needed to be built where the growth was occurring.
Holliday said there were mega units at Lake Norman, but it was the watershed issue that
needed to be addressed. He said the school would be fine next year, and the modular units would
carry the system through 2010. Dr. Holliday said 200 to 300 southern end high school students
could be remedied with the Dana concept, plus this facility was currently available while nothing
similar was on the market in Mooresville.
Commissioner Johnson said some environmental standards were unrealistic, but he asked
if the school officials were comfortable that the site could be cleaned up. Johnson also
questioned some of the DOT's findings, especially in regards to no changes or improvements
being needed for the Glenway Drive/Hwy. 21 intersection.
In regards to the environmental question, Dr. Miller said yes -- they were satisfied the site
could be cleaned up.
Dr. Holliday said Lake Norman High had more students in the auto tech program than
any other high school. He also mentioned that a large percentage of students at Statesville
Christian School came from the lake area.
(Due to the meeting being for informational purposes, no action was taken by the board
of commissioners.)
