Merger question undecided districts may appeal
Bigler says the Committee of Ten plans public forums and brochures before the March 20 election with some members attending each school board meeting. Tim Denny, attorney for Lick Creek District 16, says the board will decide how to proceed but notes districts strong academically and financially may resist changes. Denny criticized a memorandum error claiming Buncombe District 43 fed into Anna-Jonesboro High School District 81, saying the mistake could mislead Koch’s decision.
