Chairman Bill Long presented a list of the Capital Projects
and the priorities for the projects. (Exhibit 1) (See Exhibit File
titled "Iredell-Statesville Schools, AGENDA FILE 1/31/94 meeting
with County Commissioners".) He also distributed a list of the
Capacities in the School System (Exhibit /2).
Mr. Long pointed out that the first priority was the new
elementary school in the south end of the county at a cost of
$4,977.798.
Dr. Register said it was very much overcrowded in the southern
end of the county. Mt. Mourne is the big concern. They have 200
students over capacity. They will overfill an elementary school by
the time they get one built. Their first priority is the
construction of new 70,000 sq ft elementary school in the south
end.
He referred to Troutman Middle School, the crowded buildings
and the condition of the old buildings. Troutman Middle School is
a first priority to renovate, HVAC, and ADA requirements at a cost
of $965,034. The new elementary building at Troutman was built in
1988.
East Middle is planned for completion by 2/15/94. Dr.
Register said they looked at changing district lines when another
new elementary school is built in the south end. Sites that are
being considered for the school are Perth Church and Cornelius Road
for a high school and Perth Church and Wilson Lake Road for a high
school. These sites are also being considered for an elementary
school. They would need 20 to 25 acres for an elementary school.
Dr. Register said at the last school board meeting they
discussed where do we go next. None of those present are
responsible for the dilemma we are in now. This situation has
happened over the last 25 years. Dr. Register distributed a form
that showed the capital funding over the past 26 years for Iredell
