Meador says her area is "100-1" against the 3-in-1 plan in the KPTtimes. (Unless I mis-read this badly:D) Wise supervisors hold the line at $42M for schools - Kingsport Times-News Online
Rivers countered that while those elected did run in favor of consolidation, none ran on a three-schools-on-one-site platform. Kilgore reminded Rivers the Board of Supervisors failed to adequately fund three new schools on separate sites, a point echoed by Adkins.
Meador said her district is ?at least 100 to one? opposed to the school division?s three-in-one plan...
So, I still think anything fair will get the majority of the people in support. It is the fact that we don't have that kind of money. I would rather pay the taxes and put the 3 new schools in.
So does the 3 new schools at three new location still have legs or are we looking at Appy, Pound and St Paul being absorbed in 2011?
Appy, Pound, and St. Paul will be absorbed. Rumor is now that they will do it this fall now that the BOS has voted the way they did.
I do not belive that they will (or can) make the moves to do this by this fall IMHO it will be scheduled for 2011 giving the BOS more time to find Money for the 3 new school planQuote:

Whether the 3 new schools have legs is going to be detmined by when we get the funding. The school board has seemed like it was really pressing, but I guess now we'll see if the idea is still in place when the funds come around. This might be something folks didn't consider to well.Quote:
