Motions and affidavits have now been filed on behalf of concerned citizens of Bear Grass and Jamesville High schools.
They're opponents of the Martin County school board's decision to shut down the two high schools.
The board voted Monday to consolidate the four high schools to just two, shutting down Bear Grass and Jamesville. The motion alleges the board's decision infringes on the student's right to a sound, basic education.

I saw on one post that someone had suggested that Derek Price would make be a good choice for MC commissioner. I believe that just about anyone other than the ones we have (most of them) that is running would be an improvement. Just because someone says he/she is a democrat or a republican does not prove to me that the person votes that way. To me how a person votes in an election matters to me. Therefore, anyone who professes to being a republican I cannot vote for in an election for MC commissioners. I could do this even if it were a spouse, a child, or my best friend. I'm a full attack democrat and will never change. Who sits on the MC board of commissioners matters a great deal to me. I want to be very careful for whom I vote because we may end up with worse than what we have now if that is feasible. As far as the school consolidation, I can't do anything but pray about it and what is best for the children and parents. Yes, the parents should be considered as well along with others

The county can not deny access to the school finance information. It is public information. If you would like to see it, you can do so.

I think that if the schools consolidate that there will not be enough room inside williamston and we might have to share books, rooms and more. We might have to have lunch later in the day and maybe not have all of our classes.
