As per what Bristol, VA and Johnson City, TN - News, Weather, Sports, Entertainment | TriCities.com says, CEASE has dropped it's lawsuit on consolidation. Couple witht the special called meeting tonight, it kinda makes one wonder if the plan Perry is to unveil tonight was the catalyst for this dismissal.

Or BSG is getting a new school...
Either way, I just hope they build some new school with first rate curricula.
Here's CEASE's press release. http://www2.tricities.com/mgmedia/fi...press-release/

This is big, since the other suits are tied into this big suit, it might mean the end for the others too. But after all the money sunk into this, it may just be tweaked and put forth again. The four didn't show up, Powers said he had a work commitment, Hutchinson was on the way to Richmond, Betty said she had two meetings she couldn't miss(one the Republican meeting at the courthouse) and Cantrell didn't even bother to send an email at all. The presentation still went on, it was 2 new schools in Wise and PV and Coeburn built on to, plus a new gym for AES and also moving the 8th graders back to AES/SPES - a price tag of 60 million dollars. This will be talked about Monday at the regular meeting and with the way it was talked about, all are expected to be there.

The uniforms for the new schools will be ordered later on this month, they showed a pic of what the Spartan jerseys looked like and it looked pretty good - I'll said that the Union High logo is pretty badass, it's a U with bear claws going through it. The Warriors symbol had a sword with Warriors going across it, pretty badass too - btw it's not an Indian Warrior, the mascot will be like a Medieval warrior. Spartan is pretty much Michigan State, not exactly, but very close.

That Union logo will cost the county a couple of extra thousand due to Miami's licensing rights.
