The deadline is noon Thursday, Dec. 14, for the Sullivan County and Kingsport boards of education races. The primaries are March 5, the general election Aug. 1.
BLOUNTVILLE — Sullivan County Mayor Richard Venable won the Republican Party Primary on Tuesday to become the GOP nominee in the county general election in August.
The deadline to participate in the online survey is noon Friday.
The options are Sullivan Heights Middle School, Sullivan West Middle School and West Valley Middle School. The survey can be accessed through the school system’s website, www.sullivank12.net.
Sullivan County Commissioner Angie Stanley, a graduate of South, recently spoke in public comment to the Board of Education urging it to consider South Middle School as a name.
However, Director of Education David Cox on Monday said the survey choices were generated by a committee of students, teachers and parents from the schools merging into or feeding into the new middle school.
