School Board To Hold Century Meeting To Discuss School Closure
February 17, 2009
The Escambia County School Board plans to hold a meeting in Century early next month to discuss their redistricting plan that will close Carver/Century K-8 School.
NorthEscambia.com has learned that the board plans to schedule the meeting in early March at the Carver/Century cafeteria. Premlinary plans call for the meeting to be held March 5 at 5:3o p.m.
On January 20, the board approved advertising the redistricting of Carver/Century students to Bratt Elementary and Ernest Ward Middle School. State law says they must advertise the plan for 28 days prior to official approving it. They plan to vote on the redistricting plan that would close Carver/Century at their March 17 board meeting.
At the January meeting, the vote was 3-2 to move forward with advertising the redistricting plan. Board members Bill Slayton, who represents District 5 where Carver/Century is located, and Linda Moultrie voted against the proposal. Jeff Bergosh, Gerald Boone and Patty Hightower voted for Superintendent Malcolm Thomas’ plan.

Sorry for the typos….correction…
Did anyone consider working folks before this meeting was scheduled? The ECAT bus gets into Century between 630-700pm, also many concerned citizens work in Pcola and don’t get back to Century in time for a 530meeting…
Makes one wonder do they really want concerned citizens to attend?
