Please continue to share the budget crisis info with friends and neighbors.  The word is getting around!  The business community has come out with several public resolutions in support of fully funding our schools and they are mobilizing to take further actions.
Dr. Bob presented a prototype budget at the BOEd work session last Monday.  It is a vision of what MCS should be doing and shows planning for our future 5 years at a time.  Imagine eliminating this yearly race to survive and replacing it with an orderly, considered process??!  Please watch here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYy-IXuQ13U&feature=youtu.be

The next School Board meeting is MONDAY FEB. 13 at 6:30PM.  IT HAS BEEN MOVED TO CARTHAGE ELEM. auditorium for crowd accommodation. (312 Rockingham St, Carthage 28327) Public speaking sign up by 6:25pm. 3 MINUTES PER SPEAKER.

The next County Commissioners meeting is TUESDAY FEB. 21 at 5:30PM at the Historic Courthouse in the circle in Carthage, 2nd floor.  Public speaking sign up by 5:25pm.  3 MINUTES PER SPEAKER. Please plan on staying for the entirety of the meeting if you are able.
