Final Board of Supervisors Vote on Consolidation

Hows it going down? My predictions:

V. Meador: No
J.H. Rivers: No
R. Robbins: No
R. Short: Yes
D. Kilgore: Yes
S. Bates: Yes
R. Adkins: Yes
F. Lundsford: ????? A strong opponent of consolidation for years many are now afraid Lundsford will vote in favor of this.

Your thoughts?

What happens in the event of a split vote?

Tie vote means no.

SO a Yes vote means that they go with the 3 schools in one deal.

What does a No vote mean (StPaul/Coeburn, Pound/Wise, Appy/PV?) or (New study?)

StPaul/Coeburn, Pound/Wise, Appy/PV?)

This

Even though I think it is somewhat crazy to have three schools in one it could be smart too. It could be quickly changed into one school in the event of more schools consolodating and becoming AAA in the future. Not very likely but it could happen.

Haven't got the funds for this either. That is what got rid of Basham- he had 50 million in Jan one year and by June he needed to close Appy to save ONE mill. Wait till spring and the funding runs out- then the state can step in and raise our taxes to whatever they need to be , we will get 3 new schools then. :D And we could have just waited for this point and done just as well without the whole school board.

ding ding ding, we have a winner ladies and gentleman, this is why id ont even get caught up talking about this mess. they need to just let the state come in and take over

The school board members were elected to do a job. When they try to do their job, people want them fired or have a general recall. Consolidation is going to happen in Wise and Dickenson counties. The general public needs to just shut up for once. The Perry fella in Wise county seems very intelligent. But you mark my words, some idiots will run him off. Same for Mrs. Robinson.

Their "job" is whatever the most people want. And as you can see, even this little group, with their carefully chosen leader, can't agree on what to do- except spend money.
