School Board Meeting – Public/Parent Forum

Kelly Shanton of Powell and a teacher in West Knox County. I hear a theme tonight and on Monday, Parental Involvement. I feel it is important that you vote No and include us. It is important that you vote No. We are strong, intelligent people and you need to have confidence in us.

Kim York of West Knox County. A parent of a 7th grader at West Valley Middle School. All of these students will attend Bearden High School with the exception of 10 7th grade students. “Mrs. Carson, West Valley is in your district. How did you let this happen to my son.”

Wayne Limbaugh Alice Bell/Spring Hill – You are dividing our community. Why send Farragut to Bearden. Why not Farragut to Hardin Valley, Bearden to Hardin Valley. Leave our community alone.

Kevin Sparks of Powell. The information is not reliable. Frustration is that the original plan was thrown out. Why was that? You know the answer. We do not. You built the high school in the wrong place. How many school board members does it take to show our kids that our leaders can work for the people. Do we show them (students) our leaders use flawed information just to move it forward. It only takes 5 to show them real leadership.
