Public Comments 37 a. Matters not on the Printed Agenda 38 39 Annette Smith introduced herself as the parent co-chair for the school improvement 40 team at Culbreth Middle School. She expressed the school's excitement about the proposed 41 new science wing at the school and requested Board of County Commissioners to fund the 42 science wing when the request is considered. She said the wing will be an educational tool and 43 will also increase the school's capacity by 100 students with the addition of 6 classrooms, thus 44 delaying the need for an additional middle school. 45 Principal Beverly Rudolph; science teacher, Fiona Ray; and one student spoke on 46 behalf of this proposed project and discussed the inadequate science spaces currently being 47 used and the benefits of the additional space for both teachers and students. 48 Chair Jacobs said he hoped the school would lobby to name the new science wing, if 49 approved, in honor of Commissioner Gordon, who has worked tirelessly on this effort. 50
