BY TERRY POPE
The Brunswick County Board of
Education plans to ask county commissioners
for $4.3 million in local
funds for the 1985-86 fiscal year.
New classroom buildings at Lin
coin ana union rrimary and South
Brunswick Middle schools, three new
activity buses and a ten percent
across the board salary increase for
all employees are a part of the
schools' tentative $4,364,160 budget
request from the count}'. Last year,
commissioners appropriated $348,516
in capital outlay to the school system
while refusing to fund new constructions.
School business manager Samuel
Adcock presented the tentative
budget to the school board Tuesday
night. Another meeting on the budget
has been scheduled for Tuesday,
April 30, at 7 p.m. at the Southport
administrative building.
New construction makes up
$3,041,500 of the estimated $4.3
million in capital outlay for the
1985-86 budget request. Including
local, state and federal funds, the
school budgei wiii total $33,506,77*2
next year, said School Superintendent
Gene Yarbrough.
The $3.9 million figure for new construction
represents a $381,500 increase
over last year's $3.5 million
estimate due to inflation, Adcock
said. A letter from Leslie N. Boney
Architects Inc. of Wilmington addressed
to Yarbrough on April 15 confirmed
the new figures and also
stated, "We are ready to proceed immediately."
Additional activity buses are needed
to replace the central fleet, Yarbrough
said. The schools were
awarded three bus allotments last
year from the state, but chose to purchase
yellow school buses instead.
i nc average activity Bus has more
than 146,000 miles, Yarbrough said,
while the youngest bus is a 1876
model. Three activity buses would
cost the county $96,000.
Program cuts that will be affected
by the new budget are the New Model
Me and the In-School Suspension programs.

To Seek
that the New Model Me program be
discontinued, Adcock said, while the
In-School Suspension program will
be revised.
Dropping the New Model Me pro
gram will save the system $89,737 for
three teacher allotments. A revised
In-School Suspension program will
use seven counselors rather than certified
teachers.
Other changes in the curriculum
will include adding a guidance
counselor to work at both North
Brunswick High and Lincoln
Primary schools and a 12-month
computer coordinator for the county.

In anticipated revenues, the board
will receive $190,000 in remaining
drug fines and forfeitures for the
1985-86 fiscal year, Adcock said.
There will be no anticipated increase
in public utilities since the
school system is currently
negotiating a contract with the A.E.
LeBlanc Inc. energy management
company, which will guarantee a
savings in energy costs.

An audit of the 1983-84 school year
shows the school system paid out
$8,002 more than authorized by the
state. That figure was reduced to
$4,439, but only $3,002 has been labeled
collectable.
