I thought they did on channel 10 with Comcast? Sometimes those board meetings are like the Jerry show without the hitting and of course the use of a larger vocabulary.
Doesn't the Wise SB televise their meetings? And, has anyone heard anything on whether or not they appointed a new member to fill Vanessa Perry's vacated seat? Could get interesting if they appointed one who is not in favor of consolodation.

They are filmed and aired at a later date. Was there tonight and they appointed Larry Greear to fill the unexpired term of Vanessa Perry. Betty Cornette, Rocky Cantrell, and Mark Hutchinson were not present. Some sort of boycott I would imagine. Another proposal on the table. Build a new school in Wise and a new one in PV. Remodel Coeburn for about 10 million and spend very little in Appy, Pound, and St. Paul. Provide transporation from Pound to the new school, to be named, in Wise, and also provide transporation from Appy to the new school in PV, yet to be named. Dr. Perry was given the okay to present this plan to the Board of Supervisors. Will cost about 70 million to keep all 6 high schools open. You might call this a compromise.

Sounds like some progress might have been made if that was the case.Originally Posted by retiredteach
Ok I am confused all 6 schools will stay open but buses will run from the Smaller schools to the larger ones?
If that is REALLY the plan I am not sure exactly what it will acomplish
Since those three were so conspicuously absent and the others weren't, does that imply to the public that maybe, just maybe, there was some sort of illegal meeting happening with someone somewhere? I mean, to me, that is a pretty good indicator that something shady has happened.
So, in other words, keep all six open, is this for one more year,or does it have no "time-line"? But leave open the inevitable reality that the schools will be closingin the next year? It doesn't sound like much of a proposal to me. More like a band-aid. And, also, is this not within the cost of the original plan of 3 schools, 3 sites? Someone has their screws loose on this one.
Think the intent was to appease both sides and come to some sort of a compromise. Am sure the battle is not over. Have found late in life that the more options you offer to folks, the more confused they become. Just do it and get it over with and move on. This situation is holding the progress of Wise County Schools and Wise County as a whole. This affects economic development big time.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for consolidation, but along the lines of their original plan of 3 schools, 3 sites deal. And yeah, it is definately a hindrance to economic development. Get it done and over with.
I'd say 4 folks filling an empty seat might be illegal.If the thing could have started in '92 without all the lying, it would have been over long ago.
We'll keep the lights on for you.

How could it be illegal? The attorney stated that a quorum was present.
