O. Box 707 <br />Concord, NC 28026-0707 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Freeman and County Commissioners: <br /> <br />We want to thank you and thc Commissioners for the help that you have given us over <br />the past nine years in providing space and safety for our students. We are certain that this <br />school system would not have been able to have achieved the scores and graduation rates <br />that it has accomplished without the eight schools and renovations that you and the <br />community have helped make possible. We also want to sincerely thank you for the <br />opportunity to move into a new Education Center. The building speaks loudly for the <br />community and the value they place on education. With all of that being said, our <br />community continues to grow and place tremendous pressure on needed infrastructure to <br />accommodate that growth. The Commissioners and the Board of Education are in very <br />difficult positions as we continue to deal with increased needs for water, roads, fn'e, <br />police protection and schools. As you know, the school system's staffworks very closely <br />with the County staffin projecting growth figures for the next fifteen years. In looking at <br />just the next five years, we are going to be under tremendous pressure to provide <br />additional schools. We need to begin to purchase property in 2004 for additional schools <br />to be completed by 2009. We are asking that the County Commission work with the <br />Board of Education and our school staff to provide funding for five elementary schools, <br />one middle school, and one high school over the next five years. <br /> <br />Construction Start Opening Date Facility & Approximate Location <br />Date <br />Juiy 2004 Suly'~006 Harris Road Elementary/Middle School <br /> Property <br />July 2004 July 2007 Hi~:~a School/Southwest Location <br />July 2005 Suly 2007 Elementary School/Northwest Location <br /> · .
