McDowell County eyes school consolidation plan
McDowell County plans a major consolidation with two new state board members backing the move. The effort seeks federal flood proofing funds and state School Building Authority dollars to build a new War Elementary and Middle School and a new high school for multiple communities. Officials stress preservation of small schools amid declining enrollments and ongoing funding talks with federal and state officials.
