The Hamblen County School Board has invited County Commission Chair Stancil Ford to attend the board's work session on Monday, March 16, at 6:00 PM in Room 204 at the Central Office on E. Morris Boulevard. School Board Chairman Janice Haun wants Ford to provide the school board with some direction in regard to the high school building program.
It is my understanding that the letter of invitation went out on or around March 11 and was copied to all Commissioners, School Board Members, County Mayor David Purkey, and Trustee Bill Brittain.
As reported in a previous post, the Commission's Education Committee, which is composed of all commissioners, voted 10-3 on March 9 to reject the school board's proposal to purchase property near Wal-Mart and across from Walters State for a new East High School.
It looks like the School Board letter to Ford was not copied to the press, and I haven't seen any mention of the invitation in the main section of the paper. Of course, it could be down inside some other story or I might have just plain missed it.
If it hasn't been reported yet, maybe it will be in tomorrow's edition in the afternoon right before the meeting.
