New School 11
| The long awaited, much anticipated vote on the Loudon
County School Board's proposed building plan was voted on Monday night.
The estimated $115,000,000.00 plan includes the new 7-12 middle/high
school on the north end of the county, 10 new classrooms at Philadelphia
a new auxiliary gym and football field improvements at Greenback. The
program would require a 25 cent property tax increase. The vote was close with six commissioners voting yes and four voting no for the building plan/tax increase. Commissioners Chase Randolph, Bill Geams, Bill Satterfield, Gary Whitfield, Joe Morrison and myself, voted for the building plan. Commissioners William Jenkins, Rosemary Quillien, Henry Cullen and Adam Waller voted no. I'll have an expanded story Monday morning with much more detail. |
