The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education unanimously approved
on a 6-0 vote for the location of the district’s new consolidated
administrative office building to be placed on the 500 block of North
Main Street in Salisbury.
At a press conference immediately following the board approval,
Board of Education Chair Dr. Richard Miller acknowledged the previous
community support that brought this project to this point. Dr. Miller
thanked the Blanche and Julian Robertson Family Foundation, Fred
and Alice Stanback, the Rowan County Board of Commissioners, and
the Salisbury City Council for their generosity and commitment to
education.
Dr. Miller introduced Lee and Mona Lisa Wallace as the district’s
new funding partners supporting this project through purchase of
the property on
the 500 block of
North Main. Mona
Wallace spoke
about wanting
to do something
special for the
Salisbury and
Rowan County
citizens. Mrs.
Wallace said
that both she
and her husband
were educated
in the Rowan
and Salisbury
public education
systems and wanted to share this valued opportunity with the children
of our community. The Wallace family has an established legacy of
contributing to the educational and cultural needs of the community.
The Rowan County and City of Salisbury school districts merged in
1989 with the intention to consolidate the two school system’s central
offices into one location. “The excitement of today’s announcement
brings that reality closer to fruition,” states Dr. Lynn Moody,
Superintendent for the Rowan-Salisbury School System. “This is a
long-awaited need and one that we are eager to complete. I am very
grateful to all our business partners and elected officials for making
this possible.”
