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.

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.
