A 25% capacity does exist if multi-track <br />schedules are implemented. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fennel submitted a list of questions, and he re'quested the <br />School Board to respond. <br /> <br />There remains differing opinions regarding architectural costs associated <br />with school construction and further inquiry may be necessary. <br /> <br />Fletcher Hartsell reported there were no significant litigation issues 'facing the <br />County currently. <br /> <br /> <br />
