Did you see the letter in the local paper from the guy that said he lived in Norton? Sounded like "Mad Max " from the JBB show- "all ya'all people that was elected by YOUR towns, shut up and vote like I want- quit ruining my life". If the nation was run his way, the Republicans would all be forced to vote for anything Obama wanted, at least till the next election. Since it isn't just 2 towns anymore, this has taken a whole new turn. The ride over the worst raod in the county- I've seen the Appy-BSG straight freeze before anything else- is a walk in the sun. You don't want to bus kids up a 4 lane highway?

I like watching better than worrying. At this rate I'll be up for the cut rate taxes before they raise the local taxes to build schools. We should have ponyed-up in 1992 and fixed the schools then.

We just need to use common sense and try our best to give all the kids in Wise county the best we can afford. We don't need all the bells and whistles Dr. Perry placed in the renovation plans. We have better buildings now than can be built. Remember our present schools were built as bomb shelters during the cold war. I will admit JJ Kelly does need replaced, don't know how admin. at that school used what money they received for maint. P.V. Appy, Pound, and Coeburn are in pretty good shape, just needing windows, doors, heating an cooling, electical, and plumbing upgrades. As far as AP classes use tech. We can make our schools shining examples of how small schools can excel. If we all come together( an maybe C.E.A.S.E ) is doing this, we can give the kids of Wise County something to be proud of. NOT JUST SETTLE FOR SOMETHING BECAUSE THIS HAS WENT ON TO LONG ! Citizens of are now speaking ! JOIN IN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

It has to be settled and the citizens that are complaining now have had every other model has been presented and shot down by them too. No sympathy for them and 2-1 isn't the end of the world, they don't want any change or really care about their kids education when they sit there and object to EVERYTHING for no logical reason. There's no reason they can't be proud of the new schools, I sure would be instead of what there is now, the only people that's really against this is some parents - then that rubs off on their kids. I think CEASE is a joke and flat out embarrassing.

And the folks from Norton are whining, they don't even go to the county schools.

Though I'm against the 2 on 1 plan, I absolutely agree with you on that.

2 on 1 is better than what we have now. The county can no longer afford to keep six schools.

People have argued that it will kill communities. Hate to say it but their communities were already dead in the first place if they have to depend on a high school--err wait....high school football team to keep their communities alive. This includes BSG too.
