BK -00028 PG -0003 The Board considered the FY 2015-16 NCDPI Facilities Needs Survey for the Lee County Schools. County Manager John Crumpton stated that every five years the Board of Education must submit a Facility Needs Assessment to the Department of Public Instruction (State Board of Education). The report is used by the State to assess project facility needs for the next 5-10 years, statewide and locally. Since the County is required by State Statute to fund facility capital needs it is required that the County approve the Assessment before it is forwarded to the State. The Lee County Board of Education approved the Assessment at their December 8th meeting. It was noted the certification which is approved by the Board of Commissioners is only a signature, "not necessarily constitutes endorsement or commitment to fund the Facility Needs Survey." The certification is a statement that the Assessment has been received and reviewed. The last Assessment was approved by Commissioners in January 2011. School Superintendent Andy Bryan was present and answered questions from the Board.
