Letter To The Editor – A Lot To Say About The School Board
To the Editor,
I just came home from the BCS board meeting. I have a lot to say about the whole bond issue.
For many years, there were referendums put to the voters for repairs needed in our schools. It was always voted down. Then John Nash and Beverly Stewart started telling about all the health and safety problems. That finally opened up the voters’ eyes. John and Bev started the ball rolling. I really appreciate that.
