Oh no I'm not saying that Cloudland isn't a great school most of my family went there myself included,it all has to do with the enrollment numbers,there is empty classrooms at the elementary and the numbers are low at the high school as well,most of the people who move in to roan mountain are retired or their kids are grown and could care less about the school,and alot of the kids who graduated from there have no choice but to move to find work not everybody wants to be a teacher or work in the medical field.Im not saying this consolidation will ever take place but from a financial standpoint it really would make sense to consolidate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a couple of k-8 schools in Greene County close and one of them was a reward school—highest academic honor any of our k-8 schools had received, and they closed it last year. Lol politicians aren’t looking to make the education better or maintain high standards. It’s all about the mighty dollar. Tons of research shows that smaller schools are more beneficial to the overall development of kids, yet Greene County wants to build a high school that holds 2200+ students. STUPID. I really hope they don’t close Cloudland. Destroys community identity. At some point people in high places in the education field need to decide what’s more important—developing quality community members or saving a dime so schools can all have shiny toilet seats.

Tootie Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 I’ll be honest it’s not really people in high places. I know in carter county if anyone even mentions raising taxes they get voted out. It takes a lot of money to run 20+ schools. In reality it’s either raise the taxes or consolidate.

So true, with a the yankees that have moved here Greene county has already lost most of it's identity. If they keep closing our schools we will lose the rest of it. Hopefully Carter County does not fall into this some trap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
