Should the article below happen, how will that affect things going forward?

 

Here's the 28 schools that would close, 10 that would see new buildings under Hopson's plan

Shelby County Schools Superintendent Dorsey Hopson is proposing closing 28 schools over the next several years and building 10 new schools. 

The plan aims to address a list of $500 million worth of deferred maintenance projects and 17,000 open seats across the district. Hopson called the proposal "preliminary." The school board would have to approve the plan, and later vote on individual school closures, and the Shelby County Commission would have to approve funding for the new construction. 

Estimates of the cost of the plan top $700 million. 

Here are the schools that would close, the neighborhoods that would receive new schools, and existing buildings that could get additions.

It definitely will cause enrollment fluctuations in certain areas. It seems like Wooddale and Sheffield would combine to the proposed Parkway Village-area high school. That could be a AAA school. The proposed Cordova Area School could be a AA to start then grow to a AAA quickly. 

The proposition to open a new school in the Cordova area will probably draw students from Cordova and Germantown High. Which will more than likely bring both of those enrollments down, especially Germantown. That could prompt a sale of Germantown High School to Germantown Municipal School District. (this, of course, wouldn't affect basketball

It doesn't seem like there is a plan to replace Bolton. Where do those kids go? Arlington?

I thought that two years is a little steep.

Not at all. You can’t act like thugs and criminals in high school athletics without consequences.  Video evidence shows it should have been even more IMO. I wonder how many kids will transfer away from these schools now?  SMH Memphis isn’t above the TSSAA fyi

Racism seeps through every word you type sir. No good ole boy spirit here I only see two colors, light green and dark green. If you were a Marine you’d understand that concept. It’s time we stopped making excuses for bad behavior and asking for leniency every time teenagers and adults act this way.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
