Superintendent Pedersen emphasized that he would like to get the bad news early if <br /> possible. He asked when the information would be available regarding the funding of the <br /> schools. <br /> Chair Foushee said that since the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) has not <br /> seen the budget yet, it is difficult to know. There is a budget work session on May 11tn <br /> Commissioner Gordon noted that the last scheduled BOCC meeting before the break is <br /> June 15th, so the budget should have been adopted by that time. <br /> Frank Clifton said that he will have the budget wrapped up in the next 10 days, so <br /> within a couple of weeks the Manager's recommendation at least will be ready. <br /> Susan Hallman said that the school board appreciates the Board of County <br /> Commissioners and they appreciate anything that the Board of County Commissioners can do <br /> for them. She hopes that they do not go backwards with the school funding. <br /> Tony McKnight said that if they are not going to get their requested per-pupil funding, <br /> then the school boards need to know this as soon as possible. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs applauded the lack of acrimony in this meeting. <br /> 4.
