<br />(G-6) Finanoe - Reduction in Sehool Appropriations of 2.9 Percent Due to
<br />Economic Conditions
<br />Chairman White announced representatives from the Cabarrus Co. Board of
<br />Education (BOE) and Kannapolis City BOE were invited to present information
<br />on the impact of the proposed reductions in public school appropriations in
<br />accordance with N.C.G.S. 159-13(b)(9).
<br />Pam Dubois, Deputy County Manager, reported a reduction of 2.9 percent
<br />is being taken across the board to outside agencies and County departments,
<br />except for the Department of Social Services.
<br />Danita Rickard, Kannapolis School Board of Education Chairperson,
<br />reported the Kannapolis School Board would strive to comply with the
<br />requested budget reduction. She stated it will be very difficult to do at
<br />this point in the fiscal year and the School Board will do the best they can
<br />and do more with less as they have done in the past.
<br />Dr. Barry Shepherd, Cabarrus County Schools Superintendent, stated at
<br />this time in the fiscal year it is very hard to reduce funding. He stated
<br />this requested reduction would equate to dismissing 90 teachers; releasing
<br />130 clerical, custodial, or other non-certified staff members; and would
<br />result in a 25 percent reduction in annual supplements paid to teachers. He
<br />stated CCS would rather return unused construction funds or pass this budget
<br />cut along to next fiscal year. He further stated budget cuts have been made
<br />twice and another is expected in the summer from the State.
<br />A discussion ensued. The following issues were addressed: deferring
<br />cuts to next year's budget; projects funded with cash or funded with
<br />contributions from the general fund; County staff to assist both Board of
<br />Educations to determine the budget reductions; etc.
<br />UPON MOTION of Commissioner Carruth, seconded by Commissioner Privette
<br />and unanimously carried, the Board voted to reduce the school budget
<br />appropriations and adopted the following budget amendment:
<br />Date:2/6/2009 Amount:i$1,575,759.00-
