Alamance County commissioners agree local schools have serious needs, but are particular about from which pots of money schools spend.

“I don’t want us to be a roadblock to what the school board needs,” said Alamance County Commissioner Steve Carter. “The only issue for me is how do we pay for it and making sure the way we pay for it is the most efficient for our taxpayers.”
