units, screens, lighting, sidewalks and parking lots for the
five County schools.

School Board's decision of deciding items that. needed
attention such as paving the parking lots.
Supervisor Turner stated he had much criticism from
parents due to the fact there is no air conditioning in the
schools and asked how the School Board planned to use the
excess $300,000..00 construction money. Dr. Morlino stated
the money in the construction account was for capital
projects and in the five year plan for projects then:: is a
need for up-front money.
Following discussion and on motion of Supervisor
Bailey, the Board voted unanimously to adopt the resolution
authorizing the School Board to apply for the $1,305,000.00
in bonds through the Public School Authority.
Regarding the $350,000 School Board construction money
on had, Supervisor Bailey recommended the money be spent ror
paving the parking lots in 1988-89 and conversion of buses
to diesel. County Attorney Crook stated the funds for
capital improvement which. the School Board has is part of
literary loans which has to be used for construction.
Anything that is not construction cannot be applied to that
fund, stated Mr. Crook. Mr. Crook continued stating you are
borrowing the money-for the .air conditioning units and .there.
is nothing wrong with that; however, converting buses to
diesel is not construction.
