High Point Board Objects to County Plan on School Building
The Guilford County ten year plan to fund school construction faces specific objections from the High Point Board of Education. The board supports the plan’s structure but seeks assurances that High Point needs are funded equitably within a 16 million dollar bond proposal and five year staged outlays. The board asks to reopen the matter if funds run short and proposes protecting High Point’s share in later years while avoiding hard debt limits. The letter was sent to County Commissioner chairman Lloyd Cames today and the board will meet with Greensboro officials Monday.
