Page-Luray School Consolidation Thwarted For Now
Plans to consolidate Page County and Luray high schools were halted as the Page County Board of Supervisors rejected an $18 million bond resolution to finance the project. The 3-2 vote followed a committee’s disclosure of three proposed sites, with southern district supervisors Cubbage, Hilliard and Good opposed and northern districts represented by Comer and Louderback supporting consolidation. The meeting, held at Page County High School, ended with applause as the motion to proceed was denied and voices questioned how consolidation would improve education.
