I.C. Dot Maps
Discussion:
David Parker did a presentation with maps of how the students are spread across the county per school. The maps showed how many students went to each school that lived outside of the bus zone area. This showed the need for a new middle school and high school. He talked on county growth for the next 5 years and how many possible students that would bring to our schools. Jeff Sweeney told how many lots have already been approved for houses to be built in the next 5 years and in what part of the county that would impact the most. Mr. Sweeney also spoke a little on the bypass that, when finished, would impact the Liberty area. This bypass is in the state’s 10-year plan.
There was discussion on possibly building on the Liberty property and how to pay for the new schools. |
