    What matters is telling the truth to the tax payers, apparently you like being kept in the dark, you must have voted for the Change Man, some change we have.
    Lets review what the reasons were given to close Century.
    1. The school was costing the county too much money to keep open a brand new facility. A $1,000,000.00 savings was promised when we close Century. Instead we are spending double the money to transport students to the otherside of the county and we are spending a million just to make the school usable to accomadate the students, thats besides the other funds that have been allocated for future budgets to fix even more problems. To top it all off we have a multi-million dollar school in Molino sitting half empty so we can keep students at Bratt, if those economics make sense to you, then you definitly voted for OBAMA.

    bmb…..what does one have to do with the other???And should Bratt be allowed to fall apart because Century closed? As homeowners we all know if we don’t do the small things as they are needed they turn into bigger things. Besides Bratt is a good school with a good surrounding community to support it….always has been. I’m sorry Century closed but from the way things look the kids are doing well at Bratt, what else matters?
