The Floyd County Board of Education will have their long awaited vote on the potential closings of Cave Spring Elementary and Glenwood Primary School at their first board meeting of the year on Monday.
When it was announced that the board was considering the closing of the schools, particularly Cave Spring, many people were upset and concerned.
Over a hundred people attended the public hearing concerning Cave Spring Elementary at the Coosa High School Auditorium and voiced their outrage at the school board.
I attended the community forum at Coosa High School regarding the closing of Cave Spring Elementary (along with about 150 other people). The superintendent and the Floyd Board of Education said they would listen. At least three solid proposals were brought forth by the community as alternatives to closing CSES. Will those actually be explored?
The forum started with two of the superintendentâs assistants regaling us with hard-to-read Powerpoint slides regarding unused classrooms in the county, and the $4.6 million in repairs and renovations needed for CSES. (âWeâre not going to spend money on a building weâre going to close.â) Which, again, sounds like the decision to close CSES has already been made.
