The hammer is about to fall

Quote from the Coalfield: "Wise County Schools Superintendent Michael Basham says he intends to have ready for the March 8 school board meeting a recommendation on county high school consolidation." Is this the big decision we've been dreading to hear?

"Dreading to hear" or not it appears it will finally be "officially" out in the open for everyone to hear and deal with. I'll be very interested to see what he's come up with this time. I hope it makes more sense than the $54 million fiasco of a few years ago and without the idiotic enrollment influx stuff that accompanied that plan, as well.

most people only dread hereing the stupidity that will come from apalachia others might not like it but they at least dont moan like the board bashers do

Is that comment supposed to infer that Appalachia people are stupid?

only some of them i read the article in the coalfield today and where was the group they mentioned from appalachia

So, you call those people stupid for coming out and getting involved in the consolidation talks? From my understanding, every time there is a school board meeting, there is a packed house, mostly people from Appalachia, just wanting to know the truth from the school board. I guarantee that if it was some other school in the district targeted for consolidation, their community would be out in force as well to support their school.....would you think those people to be stupid as well?
