Clifton, County Manager <br />Cabarrus County <br />65 Church Street <br />Concord, North Carolina 28025 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Clifton, <br /> <br /> At its October 12, 1998, meeting, the Cabarrus County Board of Education <br />reviewed the educational components of the Franchise Agreement between Cabarms <br />County and Time Warner, which became effective January 1, 1998. Cabarrus County <br />Schools' proposed plan to establish wide area communications across our educational <br />community is dependent upon the provision of the Franchise Agreement, which calls for <br />the establishment of a regional educational institutional network (INET). <br /> <br /> The Board of Education approved our request to seek assistance from the <br />Cabarrus County Commissioners, as provided for in the Franchise Agreement, to connect <br />the existing Time Warner fiber optic network system to each of the county's high <br />schools, the CCS Technology Center, and the CCS Administrative Building. The <br />establishment of the INET is dependent upon the completion of these connections <br /> <br /> We are excited about the increased learning opportunities and resources the INET <br />will bring to the students of Cabarrus County. Additionally, the INET will support <br />expanded professional communications, and will provide an easily accessible information <br />source about our educational system for parents. We look tbrward to the presentation of <br />our INET implementation plan to the Commissioners, and hope that we can be placed on <br />the agenda for the November Commissioners' Meeting. <br /> <br />Thank you for your support and for your assistance in this endeavor. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Dr. Harold E. Winkler, Jr. <br />Superintendent <br /> <br />An Equal <br />Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
