Board OfrjEducation Adopts Resolution, Cites Conditions STATEMENT (Continued froai Pmfe Om) of Transylvania County. (2) New elementary facilities to replace the old high school and ele mentary buildings at Bosnian. Grades K-8 would be housed in these facilities; and the present gym nasium, the Bhop building, and the 1949 elementary building on the Rosman site. (3) A nevl> elementary school on the present Brevard High School site to house grades K-5. The pres ent Brevard High School would be used for a middle school to house grades 6-8 as the present Brevard Junior High School facility is entire ly unsatisfactory. Penrose, Pisgah Forest, Straus and T. C. Henderson Elementary Schools would house grades K-5 when the proposed pro gram is completely implemented. The proposed three new facilities eaai be provided with funds from the sale of bonds, if approved by the vdters of Transylvania County, and Appalachian Regional Development Funds. The Board of Education re quests the Transylvania County Board of Commissioners to consider levying the local option one (1) cent sales tarx in order that the per sonal and real property tax burden would be minimized with the pass age of a school bond issue. ?; t If the proposed bond issue is not approved by the voters, we respect fully request that the Board of Com missioners take such steps as may be'necessary to provide a minimum of $2,500,000.00 to cover the cost of the absolutely necessary renova tion, replacement, and modernizing needed to bring our schools up to required minimum jg^ajj^rds. t*. ' \t> v.f Dr. J. L. Pierce, Director of the Division of School Planning of the North Carolina Department of pub lic Instruction, and members of his staff clearly stated in a report to the Board of Education that new construction is more practical and desirable than renovation of old fa cilities. With the alternate “pay as- you-go” plan proposed by some a new Brevard Elementary and middle schools could be constructed on a new site(s) without disruption of the existing program at either school. However, replacement of the older facilities at Rosman under this alter nate plan would necessitate mul . tiple use Of the gymnasium, shop building, and the 1949 Rosman Ele mentary Building while the old buildings are being renovated or re placed with new facilities and would impose serious, if not insurmount able, difficulties. Recognizing the fact that a "pay as-you go" plan would necessitate a substantial property tax increase in addition to revenues accrued from a local one (1) cent sales tax and thus imposing a heavier burden on the taxpayers of Transylvania coun ty for a period of twelve to fifteen years, and that this plan does not provide for a kindergarten program at any of the elementary schools in the county, the Board of Education strongly recommends that the Com missioners request the voters of Transylvania County to approve a school bond issue. However, the Board of Education is aware of its legal responsibilities to provide adequate facilities and instructional programs for the youth of Transyl vana County, and also realizes the urgency of improving the conditions of our facilities in the immediate fu ture and thus formally requests the Transylvania County Commissioners to provide funds for upgrading the school facilities should a school bond issue be unsuccessful. RESOLUTION (Continned from Page One) the Constitution, to erect additional school buildings and other school plant facilities, remodel, enlarge and reconstruct school buildings and other school plant facilities, and ac quire necessary land and equipment therefor, in order to provide addi tional school facilities in said Coun ty, the estimated cost of which is $5,220,000. Section 2. That the Board Commissioners for the County of Transylvania is requested to take all necessary steps, by the issuance of bonds or otherwise, in order that funds may be provided for puch school facilities. Section 3. That we do respectful ly recommend that the Board of Commissioners consider the levy of a one (1) cent sales tax to help de fray the cost of the proposed addi tional school facilities and help to relieve as much as possible the prop erty tax levy on our taxpayers. Section 4. That a copy of this resolution shall immediately be cer tified to the Board of Commissioners for said County. NOW!

When a farmer installs a needed conservation practice, he normally has every intention of realising its full benefits for a long period. For the lifespan of the practice is the tenn used by ASCS. Sometimes it happens that a farmer will make a change in his farm operations that inter rupts the lifespan of a practice he installed with cost-sharing. When a practice is not main tained through its normal life span, all or part of the cost sharing must be refunded by the producer, unless the prac tice failed due to conditions beyond his control. Attention must be given to the operation of this lifespan provision as it relates to par ticipation in the 1971 set-aside programs for feed grain and wheat.

Producers who have ques tions about the normal lifespan of a cost-shared conservation or pollution - abatement practice should cheek with the County ASC Committee or the Execu tive Director of the County ASCS Office. Cost-sharing practices are be ing established this year under the Rural Environmental As sistance Program (itZAP). In previous years, coat-sharing was through the Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP). The lifespan provisions apply to practices established under either program. blic Buildings Invinl Schools Brevard Senior High School ctm$ in for 24 (discrepancies in the various buildings, inside and out Again most of these were minor items in the main tenance category with the ex ception of, for. one, a cited need for additional refrigeration ca pacity in the lunchroom. Brevard Elementary School, with M discrepancies, showed moat of the serious defects in the two older buildings. Among these were three safety hazards noted by mem bers of the Jury—loose mad bi-pimp stair handrails and floors in need of repair. Brevard junior High School had 38 discrepancies from a need for re painting through out to a lack of classroom space and lockers. Notes of shorted electric wiring and a con demned balcony reflect the age lute excessive dust in the classrooms. Pisgah Forest had 17 dis crepancies, among them roo and floor repairs and plumbing maintenance needed. S trau had 26 including various main tenance items, roof work, an< paving needed between the ol< and new buildings. Upper County Schools The Bosnian high and ele mentary schools came in for a total of 2$ discrepancies, many of them serious, espe to the old high school building. Serious problems include improper support for floors, raw sewage running under the building — appar ently from the chemistry laboratory — and roof leaks and rotting woodwork. Many other items point u] the general problems of ol< age, particularly in the high school building. T. C. Henderson had 13 dis crepancies. Among them was a recommendation for a complete sewage system overhaul and repair of the roof. The Grand Jury recom mended that a State Sanita tion Inspector other than a local individual be sent to in spect Rosman High School Far", .ties and Rosman Ele ment ary facilities, especially in the Special Education sec r tion. 1 The jury also recommended, i “that the facilities at the pres ent Rosr.ian High School Build ing be pi ased out of operation as quickl} as possible for the safety of Transylvania’s chil dren.” Commends Principals The Grand Jury, however, commended the Rosman princi pals, A. L. Warren and Mrs. Geneva Gillespie, in their re port. “The principals and faculty should be commended for the excellent job they are do ing in each respective school due to the conditions they i are working under,” the re I port concludes.
