STATESVILLE CITY SCHOOLS: Mr. Vester Boone, Chairman of the Statesville City
Schools Board, members of the board, and Dr. Ben Carson, Superintendent, were present
to discuss school funding with the board.
Dr. Carson said they had escrowed $101,632 of the special capital funds received
from the county for the 1982-83 fiscal year for the projected renovation at States-
ville Senior High School. He said this project was included in the five-year plan,
which has been projected by the school Board. Dr. Carson said he had no qualms with
the per capital funding of special capital as planned by the county commissioners; he
believes this to be the most equitable way to fund special capital. However he
said if the board of commissioners could fund a greater amount of special capital
money, it would help their school system as well as the other two systems in the
county.
Regarding the current expense funding, Dr. Carson said that there was a differ-
ence of $160,760 in the amount recuested by the school board and the amount proposed
' {
I
'.. to be aonropriated during 1983-84. Fie said this means that his board would have to
adjust the budget down to cover the difference in the requested amount and the anti-
cinated amount.
Dr. Carson has given County Commissioner Bill Mills a letter outlining the amount
of funds needed to take care of the asbestos ceiling replacement. Dr. Carson said
that they had repaired as directed all areas that have a deterioration factor that is
considered to be unsafe. They have some areas that are in the four and five per cent
level and have been advised by the consultants that it is not necessary to remove
those at this time. Cost of asbestos replacement as submitted to Commissioner Mills
is 52,477 sq, ft. at $147,460, which does not include boiler covering or pipe wrap.
This price is based on 1981 figures.
In discussing reducing the travel rate of county -funded travel from 25 cents to
20 cents as requested by the board on June 13, 1983, Dr. Carson said they were using
the 25 -cent per mile reimbursement as recommended by the state.
