Now the vote on the Superintendent’s Rezoning Recommendation. Dr. Murphy asked if this is the vote. Some discussion ensues between Bratton and Murphy about amendments. Dr. Murphy said this process has been going on for years. The Board Chair at the time looked at 50 parcels of property. Hardin Valley is the best choice for the high school. Dr. Murphy said we have to vote on a systematic plan. There is an exception transfer policy. I will ask the Superintendent to look at that policy and set it up on an as needs basis.
Robert Bratton said we said we would look at pockets of population. I have been with this government for over a decade and asked about a transfer and it was denied. I said I would look at transfers and it was approved.
The vote on the rezoning passes with 5 in support and 4 in opposition.
