theadditional allocationThe County Manager informed the Board the net difference in the added requestand the recommend budget for Forest Service would be 3,716C Council on AgingDonna Creech, Executive Director of Johnston County Council on Aging, explainedher agency has made every effort to conserve, and have held their budget down as muchas possible Ms Creech noted because of a reduction in state and federal funding, theagency thought they would have to close one of the senior centers for next year Shereported that fortunately this has been averted for the coming year by an increase in therequest from United Way and the senior citizens, themselves, holding fund raisersShe asked the Board for additional consideration if at all possibleD Kenly KAPARCMike Lowe reminded the Board that

Education, addressed theBoard He spoke of the efforts, on the part of his board, to conserve and eliminate expenseswhere school children would not be affectedMr Carroll stated the Board of Education is requesting additional County fundsin the amount of 334,971 to reduce classroom sizes in six of the twelve primary schools,kindergarten through second grades He noted the School Board has found a matchingamount from within their budget and feel strongly this is the best way to address manyof the problems in the school system The criteria for determining which schools wouldtake part in the project was based on the percentage of free and reduced lunches servedIt is believed that children from economically and socially deprived families need more one -on-one attention to bring them to the same level for learning as other children He statedthat hopefully this could be expanded in future years to include all the schoolsCommissioner James W Cash asked if the schools have sufficient classrooms if themoney for the teachers could be foundChairman Carroll stated it would not be easy, but through creative rearrangingand minor renovation, the needed space could be made availableCommissioner John M Booker stated he has long felt the reduction in class sizesfor early grades would be one of the best ways to improve the school system He stated herecently visited South Smithfield Primary and talked with Principal Brian Martin Heinvited Mr Martin to explain the situation in his schoolMr Martin stressed the need for a good foundation for students to build on statingthe most important years are kindergarten through second grades He noted many youngchildren bring very difficult problems with them from home and need special attentionThe majority are already behind other children in learning and need additional instructionso they can compete He asked the Board to support this requestPrincipal Jerry Stevens echoed the concerns voiced by Mr Martin and added hisrequest for support He stated that as important as buildings are, programs such as thisare also very importantCommissioner Booker commented that as much as he agrees with the need toreduce the class sizes, he questioned how much the County can do He pointed out thefacility needs are so great, and at present, the only relief seems to be based on whether theNC General Assembly will allow Johnston County citizens to vote for a 1 sales taxincrease He questioned whether the Commissioners can support the classroom problemover the facility needsCommissioner Eleanor N Creech stated she would like to see the County get theoption for a 1 sales tax, but regardless of whether that passes or not, the school facilityproblems are major and must be addressedCommissioner Cecil M Massengill agreed stating the School Board has convincedhim of the overwhelming facility needs Now the need is for more teachers He pointed outthe primary responsibility of the Board of Commissioners, no matter how they may feel,is to address the need for new schoolsChairman Carroll voiced strong hope that the facility needs will be addressed bythe proposed funding plan supported by both boards and local legislators He maintainedthat the 334,971 would do little toward meeting facility needs and would do much forimproving the future of many childrenChairman Norman C Denning added his concern for the situation but concurredwith fellow Commissioners that the State of NC is responsible for providing schoolteachers, not the County The Countys obligation is to provide school buildings Hepointed out there is much to do and little money to do it withOV•School Board members, Dave Tuttle, Bob Dickens, Wayne Stewart, DeVan Barbourand Deacon Jones each endorsed the request for County funding to provide teachers toreduce classroom sizes in grades kindergarten through second grade in six of the Countysprimary schoolsG Employee SalariesCommissioner Eleanor N Creech stated she has looked at this
