"The Dunn School Advisory Council in its meeting held December 2, 1971
passed the following motion: Mr. Wilson requested additional clerical
help (the State provides less than one -half time). He stated that his
was the only Harnett County School with a teaching principal so a full4
time secretary was badly needed. Mr. Wilson requested an additional
$1,000.00. Dr. Byrd made the motion that the county provide from
special Averasboro funds an additional $1,000.00 for this purpose. Th
motion was seconded by Mr. Belote and it was unanimously passed." Mr
Gray asked,in his letter, for the action of the Board.
Commissioner McLamb moved that the foregoing request for a budget
change involving $1,000.00, to be provided from special Averasboro fun
be approved by the Board of Commissioners.
Commissioner Ray seconded the move and it carried unanimously.
