four grandchildren in the public schools and recognize the need for a good education,” Mr. Baldwin said. While supporting the RCQE’s goals “in general terms,” he added that it would be irresponsible “to commit myself to support an appropriation of public funds prior to a review of the following:
a) Priorities in the field of education, as established by the School Board, and
b) The county’s revenue projections, financial commitments for the next fiscal year and the potential additional burden on the taxpayer.”
Mr.. Baldwin noted, however, that “after being presented with evidence of (1) need for capital outlay at the high school, (2) sufficient revenues to finance the capital outlay and (3) adequate plan for expansion at the high school, I will vote to appropriate necessary funds for capital outlay.”
Mr. Baldwin died earlier this year. J. Newbill Miller, former supervisor, school board member and mayor of the town of Washington, was appointed to the vacancy and then ran unopposed in a special election held earlier this month for Mr. Baldwin’s unexpired term.
On June 4, 1984, the Board of Supervisors approved the school board’s application for a $1.5 million literary loan to finance the current high school expansion plan. Supervisors Clarence Baldwin, Charles Estes, J.R. Latham and Hubert Gilkey voted for the loan application; Nelson Lane abstained.
