Chuck Hughes, Board of Education
♦It would be disingenuous of me to pretend I was distraught over the news of the downtown Central Office’s demise. However, knowing the resources, energy and emotion put into finding the Central Office a home on South Main, I can appreciate the disappointment of many who supported the project. But now with the reality of the project not going forward, at least at this time and not under the proposed plan, the Board of Education needs to develop a plan B from the ashes and move forward. I will not be attending tomorrow evening’s candlelight vigil in front of the Empire Hotel as my humility will only go so far.
