Mrs. George Cox, member of the Volusia County School Board appeared before
the Council and stated that the ground now used as a City Dump would be
perfect for a school sight and if at all possible if the Council could see
their way clean to dedicate all of this ground to a school sight they would
appreciate it.
Mr. Smiley, Superintendent of Volusia County School Board ask that if at
all possible the board consider this sight for a School. He stated he was
willing to cooperate to the fullest extent in getting a school in this
vicinity and this was an ideal location considering the growth in this
part of V olusia County. Also the amount of land in this parcel would
make it possible to also have an athletic field, which is badly needed
and essential for a High School or Junior High School. When ask when a
school would be built on the land he stated that a time limit could be put
in the deed, as the school board worked on a budget and building was done
by matching funds with the state. He suggested a five year time limit be
set.
