At 6:30 in Gallatin.
Among the items for consideration is a $47 million bond issue which includes funds for construction of new classrooms at Gallatin High and Hendersonville High as well as the new Burris Elementary (to be built on the campus of Knox Doss at Drakes Creek). Some Commissioners are anticipating a bit of controversy over this issue -- but it appears to be a step in the right direction in terms of ensuring we have adequate facilities for our growing student population.
Others have expressed concern that the Commission may fund the new buildings (one-time cost) but not provide adequate funds for the staffing or resources (technology and library books, for example) necessary for operation of an effective school system.
Stay tuned as school budget issues come into clearer focus as summer approaches.
