is it time for Central to change to Wise Central?

Or they could just use the current HS building like they will likely do.

It would still cost the tax payers, because they would have to renovate it, before it could be used as the central office.

Some parts would have to be renovated, but the entire high school wouldn't be and the costs wouldn't be some astronomical figure. They would untilize existing buildings before slapping up a new office if possible. That's all considering they even put it in the central office spot, it might be where the football field is for all we know, that will come out in the coming months...we'll probably have a good idea of what they're likely to do after monday's meeting with the BOS.

You might need to get your facts straight. The meeting Monday night is the School Board meeting, not the BOS (Board of Supervisors). Their meeting (BOS) is Thursday night.

Yup, I screwed that up, they will be getting everything straightened out to present to the BOS, not meeting with the BOS and that's what I meant. Point still remains, we'll know a lot more after Monday.

All the news outlets, tv and newspaper not in Wise Co call them Wise Central. the more I hear it and the more confusion about who Central is I'm convinced it needs changed to Wise Central or Wise County Central

It's not going to be changed, nor should it be, it's not causing any confusion...there's how many schools around here with the Central part in it's name? And how many with just "Central"? Only one I know of in this part of Virginia at least, maybe one other in the entire state and I know of a Central High in Memphis TN. It's really not a problem at all, having the same mascots is more confusing(blue devils vs. blue devils) then having one part of a name that's in another name such as Central/Sullivan Central, not that confusing or a problem...not heard of any complaints of confusion at all. Reagardless, it was clearly in the rules to not have a town name in the new names, that's the most obvious breaking of that rule and the entire reason it IS Central and not Wise/WC Central as originally proposed.

So the school that isn't worth renovating is now worth fixing?

The "office" will never get a "hand-me-down".

Big difference in redoing a few rooms for a small staff, as opposed to tens of millions to upgrade everything for the entire schools that thousands of kids will be using and abusing for the next 50 years - all while having to renovate several times again during that time.

but why was the exception made when before they even picked colors it was told that No colors from the old schools would be used in the new schools? seems it is ok to break one rule and not another? and as far as JJK or JIB, there was just one Kelly there is several Central's so that is the difference. Has nothing to do with where the school is, it has to do with making a designation between the Central name. they could have used Indian Creek Central and it would have seperated it from Sullivan Central, Letcher Central and so on.
