Earlier this week, I shared a story that appeared in the Midland paper about what kind of cuts the Bullock Creek School District could make if it failed to receive revenue from county taxpayers.
The most controversial part of the plan was a grade realignment that would close two of the district's elementary schools - Pine River and Floyd.
Since then, the board of education met and amongst the things they considered was how to prioritize any potential spending cuts. Essentially - they didn't want to even consider closing the two schools unless they were in a situation of "last resort".
Cheers - to the board for having the guts to stand up to the superintendent and tell him his plan to close schools is bad and wrong for the community.
Jeers - to Superintendent John Hill for even having the gall to make the suggestion to close 2/3 of your grade schools and expect to have a minimal impact on the community. You, Mr. Superintendent, are out of touch with this district and really don't have to much of an understanding of reality in this matter.
Have a nice day!
