Tazewell County seeks 3.3 million bond for school repairs
Debate over a 3.3 million bond for county wide school repairs prompts parents and students to urge upgrades from leaky roofs to fire alarm replacements. Roofs at eight schools cost 800 000 while other items include 1.1 million for windows lockers and doors across 11 schools and 1.3 million for renovation at Graham High and Richlands Middle. Board of Supervisors weighs short and long term planning and potential school consolidations as they consider funding that would cost about 300 000 a year for 20 years.
