I attended the community forum at Coosa High School regarding the closing of Cave Spring Elementary (along with about 150 other people). The superintendent and the Floyd Board of Education said they would listen. At least three solid proposals were brought forth by the community as alternatives to closing CSES. Will those actually be explored?
The forum started with two of the superintendentâs assistants regaling us with hard-to-read Powerpoint slides regarding unused classrooms in the county, and the $4.6 million in repairs and renovations needed for CSES. (âWeâre not going to spend money on a building weâre going to close.â) Which, again, sounds like the decision to close CSES has already been made.
