Dr. Lunsford stated that one item that would affect both systems is the <br />cutback of the money for custodians and energy. This would then have to <br />become the county's responsibility. If this happen, it will reduce their <br />ability to fund the continuation budget. It is more difficult to have money <br />taken away. <br />Chairman Carey noted that these <br />repeated for years to come. It is 91 <br />hard work to deal with these funding <br />will be asking the Board to consider <br />all children should benefit from the <br />like for the public to speak on this <br />problems right now but it would give <br />systems. <br />are infringements on funding and may be <br />Ding to take some creative planning and <br />cuts. With regard to equal funding, he <br />a countywide district tax. He believes <br />tax base in Orange County and would <br />matter. That will not solve any <br />some direction to the two school <br />Mary Bushnell indicated they want to definitely be involved in that <br />discussion. <br />Ruth Royster expressed a concern about the tax base to draw upon for <br />education.
