Meals tax stance unchanged on Pocahontas closure
Tazewell County School Board Chair Mike Dennis says at the April 30 meeting no motion was made to place a meals tax referendum and discussions focused on funding and efficiency. He notes the Pocahontas High School closure was tied to overall board funding issues, not a lack of funds to operate.
