The Wilkes County Board of Education has temporarily set aside plans to build a new middle school/high school complex due to unexpected increases in costs. Do you think that was the right choice? What do you think the board's next plan of action concerning school facilities should be?

"I think they should go ahead and put the bid in to build the new school building." SILAS MAHONEY Salesman "I think they should wait and see if we get more industrial plants for recovery and to see if we need a new school or not." SHELLEY CALLAWAY Doctors Office "I think it was the right choice because I don't believe we need a new school. I just think they need to fix up what we have because all the jobs are leaving Wilkes County and therefore the schools are not increasing, they are decreasing. So this would help to rebuild the schools a little more." NICOLETTE FANNING Student "I think they made the right choice being honest with the taxpayers' money and I think they need to go ahead with a special election for SPLOST and use that money because they need the facilities very badly." JOHN CLEMMONS Wilkes County EMS
