towards the capital projects which comes to 1,549,264 He stated these needs are the most pressing at this time Dr Renfrow introduced Johnston County Board of Education Member Keith Branch and Chief Operations Officer Patrick Jacobs Upon a question by Commissioner Ted G Godwin , Dr Renfrow stated the multi - purpose buildings identified in the list at Smithfield Selma High School , Clayton High School , and possibly South Johnston High School are the result of a demonstrated need for those structures Dr Renfrow stated the combined cost of the three structures is estimated at 15 million which is the overage amount on the overall projects and the Board of Education felt they needed to contribute that cost Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr asked if any of the projects on the list included classroom space , noting he saw an article that said the enrollment this year was more than expected Dr Renfrow responded for the first time in school history , enrollment is above 35,000 and if that number holds true for 20 days it will be the first time they have reached that pinnacle Dr Renfrow stated with the multi - purpose buildings at Smithfield Selma High School , Clayton High School , and possibly South Johnston High School there could be designated areas in that square footage for classroom space Commissioner Mims asked if there were any architectural or engineering studies that support the projects on the list Dr Renfrow responded Hite & Associates will be attending the Board of Education meeting next week and presenting a full scale report of findings , but they did help generate this list of most pressing needs Commissioner Mims asked Dr Renfrow to make those reports available to the County Manager to be shared with the Commissioners Commissioner DeVan Barbour stated he appreciates everyone working together on the list and explained that the County has been systematically holding bond referendums since the 1990 ’ s to try and address capital needs Commissioner Barbour continued that the General Assembly has since changed the statute to only allow bond referendums during even - numbered years He stated because another bond referendum cannot be held for two more years as well as adding even more time to account for the actual bond sales , everyone realized there was going to be a gap in capital needs Therefore , this list is the result of everyone being proactive and prioritizing needed projects Commissioner Barbour stated the list has evolved somewhat from initial discussions and he sincerely appreciates all the hard work and cooperativeness Commissioner Barbour stated there will be another bond referendum on the ballot in two years and everyone’s support will be needed Following further discussion , it was the unanimous consensus of the

opportunities Commissioner Cookie Pope stated there is some movement regarding possible future magnet schools in Johnston County and asked Ms Lassiter about her feelings on magnet schools Ms Lassiter stated she does not believe magnet schools would solve the major issues , but she would welcome the opportunity to talk with Commissioner Pope further about such alternatives Commissioner DeVan
