Not replying to anyone in general, but how long can Wise County keep 6 schools open? Renovations really dont do much to help. IMO all that is putting a band aid on cut that needs stitches. Useless! I dont understand the big deal about pound staying open or whatever. What the hell has pound got to shoe for itself. There is barely any business's there. Oh wait theres a Rite Aid and a Video world. Are you [censored] me that the High schools makes money for the town[img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wall.gif[/img]! How? What the high generates goes to the school. Granted the Wild cat or Chevron might get a few ppl coming but seriuosly come on. The same can be said for Appy and St.Paul! Hell St.Paul has to take a bus a mile down the road to their practice field in football.

I do think consolidation will be a good thing. Oh wait I better mention that I am from Norton and graduated from Burton. So I that makes me and outsider lol. But anyways. I dont think the class room sizes is going to greatly change, like some may think. Also you have more at advantage there. Better labs, better gym, cafateria (sp), facillities (sp), and more acadimics choices. But hey do I know I went to a school that is a breeding for future inmates [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].
