Beaufort County Schools are building a new school on the same ground where Eastern Elementary already exists, at a cost of $10,500,000.00 to Beaufort County's Taxpayers. Is this a wise expense of taxpayer dollars at this time?
21.74% Yes, Beaufort County has been awarded a 42 million dollars of grant money from the state of North Carolina (FREE MONEY) to construct school at 3.00 per squ. ft.
67.39% No, this is the wrong time, to build the wrong school, on the wrong placement - its lowest point - of Eastern Elementary's existing location, when community schools work best.
10.87% Why should I care about the public's education?

I am a member of NCACC (North Carolina Association of County Commissioners). The NCACC is functionally many things, the greatest of which is that they lobby the NC General Assembly to do what is best for counties, which is odd because what they feel is best for counties is not always best for the people of these counties. I often find that I am intellectually in conflict with their directives.

With the Education Industry far from always doing what is best in educating our young Americans, county commissioners need to be less willing in support of any initiative that grants less control to parents, and more to what leads to less choice in doing what is best to stimulate the intellects of our newest countrymen.
