The commission also will consider the issue of the <br /> appropriate state and county roles in funding our public schools. <br /> The study commission held its first meeting on September 26 and announced a series of nine <br /> meetings and public hearings across the State to gather input on school construction needs and <br /> ways of paying for these needs. The commission requested that we invite all county <br /> commissioners and managers to attend these sessions. The co-chairmen of the Commission, <br /> Senator Fred Hobbs and Representative Leo Daughtry, hope that each county will be represented <br /> by at least one county commissioner at these meetings. <br /> You will find attached a general schedule for each hearing and a map showing the counties <br /> invited to each of the sites. The general schedule for each session is summarized below. <br /> 3:00-5:00 p.m. Commission members visit local school sites <br /> 5:30-7:30 p.m. "Dutch Treat" dinner for commission members, legislative <br /> delegation, county commissioners, and school board members <br /> 7:30-9:30 p.m. Public Hearing <br /> The study commission will hold a regular meeting at three of the sites (Charlotte, Raeford, and <br /> Chapel Hill).
