<br />Mr. Williams advised the Board that the County board of Education
<br />could not let the contracts on either of these projects due to the inflammary
<br />Cb$t that had affected the bids that had been submitted. He stated that the School
<br />Board could transfer 'the funds that had been allocated for the furnishing in said
<br />school to :.the construction cost of said school, however, the School Board must
<br />have the assurance from the Board of Commissioners that the monies for furnishing
<br />and other Capital Outlay expenses would be appropriated in the 1975-1976 School

<br />completed jointly in order to structure the grades within their unit.
