Question: The Supervisors are often faced with difficult choices. With limited tax dollars, how would you rank the following: finishing the high school expansion and meeting other capital outlay needs; increasing the salaries for teachers, administrators and other school employees; expanding the general curriculum?
Ellis Bingham: “Certainly we have to have a facility. I can’t address curriculum because I don’t know what’s there . . . The kids need computers, sciences, or they can’t compete in today’s job markets . . . or in college .. .But regardless of the facility, the key to the whole system is the teachers . . . and we have tb pay for this teaching. It’s the best investment this county can make ... If we want to develop leaders, our schools must produce them . .. Redblooded, Little Abner-type Americans who know what they’re about» . . If we don’t do that, we’re condemning our children to the most insidious type of slavery known to man: economic slavery . . . Teachers first, curriculum expansion second) facilities third.” ;
Al Henry: “If I have a dollar tb spend on education, 40 cents would go to academics, 40 cents to salaried and 20 cents to capital expansion, if we need it.” ;
Frank Fishback: “I would need more information, to sit down and look at the figures before I decided.?
Ron Frazier: “Finishing the high school would be my number one priority. I would balance increases in salary with curriculum expansion, but I would need to know more about the existing curriculum and more about exactly what the expansion involved.”
