Why go with the "if i can't have mine, you can't have yours" attitude?

Then you'll say..."well why not send BSG to Appy and Wise to Pound?"....Common sense. The populations of both those towns are fading away. Why would you build a school or consolidate in a town that, for lack of a better phrase, is a ghost town?

I've talked with some people from Appy about this...and some of the same ones who have fought this tooth and nail told me today..."I'd much rather have my kids in PV, then have this 3-on-1 mess".
No, most people do not want keep all the schools open. It boils down to a simple matter of funding- Wise Co won't want to pay anything more than they have to.
