State changes to cost NA-FC about $500,000

Enrollment at the NA-FC Consolidated School Corporation is down 94 students, which could cost the school system money from the state. Brad Snyder, deputy superintendent, talked to the school board earler this week about the changes, saying that he had planned to receive $300,000 from the state once Floyd Central High School's renovations are completed as part of the money set aside by the state to go to schools with new or renovated facilities; he just found out that money won't be around in fall 2010 when construction is complete. The board voted to allow Snyder to investigate and see what the sellers would want for two pieces of land -- one near Hazelwood Middle School and the other behind the gym at Silver Street Elementary School; the previous superintendent had recommended buying up the land in that area to help ease traffic woes with car and bus riders coming to and from Hazelwood
