Some things, like the expansion of Perquimans Central would only be required if the school sys tem had the need. Enroll ment has been increasing slightly over the past few years, especially among the youngest students, but that trend might not con tinue, Cox said. Other things, like replac ing the roof over the two- story part of Perquimans High, are “must do” items.’ “It’s leaking and it needs to be fixed,” Cox said. The board has warran ties on the other roofs in from time to time been able to locate grants for some local needs. But county dollars are critical, Stallings said. The school board’s “fund balance” or reserve fund is down to $300,000 and some of that is earmarked to continue the one-to-one computer initiative. A por tion of the proceeds from the North Carolina Lottery is also set aside for local capital needs, but Perqui mans drew down nearly all of what it had in the account to make security improvements at all four schools. CLUB Continued from 1 While fishing is not a sport covered by the N.C. High School Athletic As sociation, Leicester said he’s working to adopt their standards when it comes to student behavior. “We want to hold our stu dents to the same academic and personal conduct stan dards,” he said. He said he’s not aware of any high school fishing clubs in the area, and hopes by adopting one in Perqui mans other local schools may get involved. “If we do, we could create our own tournament trail,” he said. Each student, advisor and volunteer in the pro gram will be covered by a $1 million liability insurance policy issued by the Fishing League Worldwide (FLW). According to FLW rules, a minimum $300,000 policy is required for all boaters. Supporters say the pro gram can show how math, science and language skills can be used in non-tradi- tional ways with fishing. Students will be able to learn about habitats, moon phases, and how weather conditions can affect fish ing. Along with that comes and education in water sci ence like pH balance and water clarity. BRIDGE Continued from 1 DOT’s project engineer. Histone Hertford \0ould like to Thank exterJone ^ho purchased Luminaries - the Grand Ittumination In 2013, DOT was pro jecting right-of-way acqui sition would take place sometime start in 2016 and construction would begin in 2018. Now it looks like land acquisition won’t take place until July 2018 or later. Construction is scheduled in the 2020 fis cal year that starts July 2020. McInnis doesn’t be lieve the delay will impact funding for the project. The alternative DOT pre fers would cost about $20 million.
