Residents back high school petition to sway county vote
Gainesboro residents at Apple Pie Ridge Elementary pressed Supervisor Dr. Raymond Fish to support a new senior high school. A 650 signature petition would test voter support for the plan to replace James Wood High School for grades nine and ten and add a $7.5 million southern campus. Fish said he would vote yes only if a majority of Gainesboro voters favored the proposal, while the county bond sale and state approval faced delays amid ongoing debate over equal facilities and future growth.
