The Board hereby approves the Agreement and authorizes the Chairperson of the Board and the Clerk to the Board to execute the Agreement and the County Attorney of the County to approve its form on behalf of the Board and the County.

Thereupon, upon motion of Commissioner Barnhart, seconded by Commissioner Privette, the foregoing resolution was passed by the following vote: Ayes: Commissioners Barnhart, Privette and Carpenter and Chairman Fennel Noes: None. Discussion of Average Da~lv Me~0ershio (ADM) Fundin~ for the S~h901~ Chairman Fennel introduced discussion of Average Daily Membership (ADM) funding for the schools, including the varying State average numbers that have been presented and the need for accurate numbers. He expressed concern that the Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce had chosen to become involved in the issue prior to obtaining complete information concerning both sides of the situation. Commissioner Barnhart gave a brief oveIwiew of ADM funding and the method of calculation. Using information compiled by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, he compared ~actual" State average funding over the past several years with "projected" State average funding figures received from one of the school systems. As an example, he stated the "actual" State average for 1999-2000 was $945.00, the ~projected" State average was $1,095.00 and Cabarrus County's funding was at $1,009.00. He called for the Board to work closely with the two school boards to determine actual needs and then to fund those needs rather than to "chase" some number that no one really knows what it is. There was discussion regarding education funding, including the following: the fact that the Board has designated education funding as its number one priority; the need for a breakdown of the $1,028.00 per student that is being requested by the schools; concerns about the request for the County to assume some of the State's responsibility in funding new teachers and/or supplements for teachers and bus drivers; the increase in school teachers' salaries approved by the General Assembly in recent years; and the need for adequate salaries to keep good qualified teachers in Cabarrus County.
