- Kris Nystrom of 391 Center Lane in Bunnlevel, who is a substitute teacher, spoke about
the lack of and the state of the books in the classrooms. Mr. Nystrom said he is not
happy with the Bond because he doesn't think it is enough and he doesn't believe the
money is being spent wisely. He said a $62 Million high school seems excessive and he
doesn't think major improvements or maintenance at other schools are being addressed.
He said whatever solution we have we don't need to dump it on the teachers. Mr.
Nystrom said we need to make rules, we need to make them known to the students, and
then we are going to have to make examples of the students that tend to break them.
- Anne Jones of 751 Oak Valley Farm Road in Coats said she is speaking on behalf of the
special people and adult handicaps of Harnett County. Mrs. Jones asked the Board to
reconsider a forthcoming recommendation for charges ($2 per trip, $4 round trip) to those
