School Funding In Limbo
By Mike Barnhardt
-
Davie County is taking its case for funding for a new Davie High School to a state panel next week - even though state officials have told the county they have a problem with the request.
That problem deals with something called “non-appropriation,” meaning that members of the county commissioners or potential members have said they will not support a budget that provides funds to pay for such a debt.
Vance Holleman, deputy state treasurer, broke the news to county officials last week. County Manager Beth Dirks said Holleman indicated the county met two of three requirements: one, that a new school facility is needed; and two, that it can afford the debt.
On non-appropriations, Holleman said the problem could come after November’s elections.
County commissioner Mark Jones stated in a letter to the Local Government Commission, which must approve the COPS funding request, that he would not vote ... subscribe to the Davie County Enterprise, P.O. Box 4639, Salisbury, N.C. 28145.
