After a 6-1 vote to rescind the original non-renewal and a 5-2 vote in favor of renewing his contract, Clint Layng will remain the head football coach at Jefferson High school following a special school board meeting on Monday night.
After a 6-1 vote to rescind the original non-renewal and a 5-2 vote in favor of renewing his contract, Clint Layng will remain the head football coach at Jefferson High school following a special school board meeting on Monday night.
Last month, the Jefferson High School Board of Trustees circulated a survey to the community regarding the future of JHS, and the results revealed at the Jan. 19 meeting found that those who responded supported a renovation of the existing school.Â
The long-touted idea of moving the school to the northern end of the county was rejected by the Board based on the responses received, and instead it will seek support on a levy that would allow a more comprehensive renovation to the school.
Out of the 6,405 surveys mailed to district registered voters, 2,036 were returned â a 30% response rate.Â
The results showed that 17% supported moving the high school to the northern end of the county, 27.6% supported a high level upgrade, 16.7% supported a bare bones upgrade, and 38.2% supported making no changes to the school at all. This means 61.3% of the community supported making a change â but appear to differ on what that change should be.Â
