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?

19.61% 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 three hundred and eighty three $ per squ ft.

70.59% 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.

9.8% Why should I care about the public's education?

The Chamber rating is not one I put any stock in. The fact that Kidwell tops out on the conservative Civitas rating is much more impressive.

The Chamber is a relly mixed bag. On a lot of tax issues and red tape issues, they are okay, but they have also pushed a lot of liberal clap-trap like men in the womens restrooms, Obamacare Medicaid expansion, NC Green New Deal, etc. Kidwell did NOT vote with them on those things.
