Mayor Burchett is Doing the Right Thing for Carter

Tomorrow we should find out if the Knox County School Board will allow Knox County and specifically Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett to as through an RFP whether there is any interest in the private sector to pursue a construct/lease back for a NEW Carter Elementary School to be located on property purchased in 2003. This blogger voted to purchase that property, because I believed then that Carter deserved a new school. While I support a NEW Southwest Knox County Elementary School, I also believe that Carter is deserving as well. Thanks to Mayor Burchett for thinking out of the box and coming up with a win win solution. He is only wanting to ask the question. Let’s hope that the school board agrees to ask the question.
