Marta Tucker Board Quotations

We've contacted several qualified individuals who had indicated a willingness to accept a short-term appointment. The subcommittee will be making a recommendation to the board at the February 13th meeting.

This is just a preliminary meeting for the two school boards to talk and to meet with Bill Braden from the (Henderson, Mercer and Warren) Regional Office of Education in order to find out how to go about proceeding to begin talks about consolidation and to find out what kind of funds are available and what kind of issues we need to consider and how to go about the whole process.

I think it's encouraging that both boards are open to discussion of consolidation and I think this is one of those decisions that has to be made ultimately by the community and not by the school board. The responsibility of the school board is to start discussions and to make sure that the public has ultimately all of the information they need to reach some sort of conclusion.
