Board of Supervisors Tonite?

Instead, we have people too stubborn and uppity about athletic traditions and rivalries to think about the opportunities we are giving our students.

Get over it people it's over. Don't blame the Board of Supervisors for this they just fund the money they don't close schools. Big Stone Gap can thank their School Board members, Ted Thompson and Betty Cornett for this.

I would love to see a breakdown of which communities bring in what percentages of the county's tax revenue. The ones that bring in enough to fund their schools should get to keep them.

They finally did the right thing. Sacrificing Sports Tradition for a better Opportunity of Education for our Children. Deal with it!

Is it true that the left hand may know what the right hand is doing? What I mean is do they not have a person on the BOS that is a brother to a fellow on the School board? A husband on the BOS and his wife on the school board? It is hard for me to believe that talk does not go on behind close doors

This is not why we ALL lost our schools, Appy and Pound were gone...regardless. Do you not understand that? The fact you fail to realize, is if Appy, Pound and St. Paul would have got on board, using some common sense, long ago, then we would ALL have 3 new schools close to home by now, instead of this disaster waiting to happen 2-on-1 crap.

People still choose to ignore the fact that there has NEVER been enough funding for 3 new schools. Call it how you want, but the folks that didn't want to close Appy and Pound had nothing to do with the amount of cash available to build new schools. The 3-in-1 and 2-in-1 only came up after the BOS came up with what they would fund.

Lol!!!!!

Another thought- we really don't need more than 2 reps per school district, and the BOS should work the same. I hope some of them are ready to retiree.

And a 2-on-2 would cost only 1 million bucks more than the 2-on-1.

So tell me what the advantage is of a 2-on-1 over a 2-on-2?

Read that again,- s-l-o-w-e-r. I didn't say anything about an "advantage". What it said was the funding has NEVER been approved for 2 schools on 2 sites. Sorta one of those simple facts, like, "Appy and Pound have already lost their schools". After the cash loss during the last couple of years, Wise can't really afford new schools. However, if the fine folks from BSG want to come up with an extra million in tax dollars , from their community, I'm all for you paying it.:lol:
