John Link made reference to a memorandum regarding proposals for <br /> funding two new elementary schools. He stated that this reflects a number of <br /> discussions between himself, his staff and the school superintendents and <br /> their staff. This will be included in the CIP for their consideration.

Commissioner Gordon emphasized that while she recognizes there is <br /> a need, she questions if the County can afford two new schools. She asked if <br /> anything had been accomplished with equity of standards for the schools. She <br /> thought they agreed that standards would be set -- how they figure capacit}- <br /> sq.ft. per pupil, etc. These standards and alternatives need to be discussed <br /> She asked if the County Commissioners would have some input to the location <br /> of the new middle schools to be sure they are located for a unified system. <br /> Chair Carey indicated that both school systems have been notified of the <br /> procedure for location of new schools. <br /> XI.
