Survey open on future of Granville County Public Schools

OXFORD — Granville County’s school board sent a video and web survey out to families about the possibility of consolidating schools. The informational video explains the challenges the school district faces because of declining enrollment and the resulting financial issues. Board members say they need to find $1.7 million in annual savings to balance the system’s budget. For the past 10 years, the school system has seen a decrease in enrollment due to more students enrolling in charter schools. In the video, officials said more than 17,000 students have left the district to attend charter schools, and as the school system loses students it loses funding from the state.

Granville school board widens school-merger debate

OXFORD — Granville County School board members voted Tuesday to expand their discussion of potential school mergers to include the possibility of converting Tar River Elementary School into a replacement for G.C. Hawley Middle School. The decision came after Superintendent Alisa McLean’s staff briefed the board on merger scenarios that consolidate Granville Central and South Granville high schools, using whichever of those campuses becomes surplus as the new home of Hawley Middle School. The possibility of consolidating high schools answers pressure in favor of the idea from the Granville County Commissioners, but Tuesday’s school board debate indicated that three and perhaps a majority of its members are reluctant or outright opposed.

Local residents deal with gas shortage

OXFORD — In the days following the cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline, residents all around North Carolina have been forced to deal with mounting shortages at gas stations. The Valero gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue in Oxford was one of the locations on Wednesday that still had some fuel to spare, but manager-in-training Patricia Holman said the situation was anything but serene. “We got a truck in [on Wednesday] surprisingly enough,” Holman said. “It happened out of the blue and we had no clue that we were even going to get anything. It’s really chaotic right now. I tried to help an elderly customer earlier in the day and there were two guys just about to brawl.”
