On Early College
|
“I have mixed feelings reading this resolution,” said board member Barbara Owens. “I would rather be seeing a resolution that included both projects (a new high school, also), but we have to take care of the children (at the Early College).”
The previous resolution asking commissioners for funding included the new high school and the early college’s proposed 12,000 square foot building. Since the Local Government Commission in June denied the request from county commissioners to approve the Certificates of Participation (COPS), which would have funded both projects, plans for the new high school have been shelved, but the space issue at the early college must still be addressed, board members said.
The program began in 2007-08 and is expected to serve 240 students in grades nine-12 when the new school year begins ... subscribe to the Davie County Enterprise, P.O. Box 4639, Salisbury, N.C. 28145.
