Well it appears friends and neighbors that the brou ha ha is not over concerning the school board option that was passed Tuesday by the School Board. Today's Charlotte Observer hinted that the new School Board may revisit the vote when they are seated in December. Just when we were all getting used to our current fate... which is at the moment a new home for Dilworth which will be a very strong school with a large base of committed parents. CMS has promised to work with these parents to make the school the best it can be and the excitement denotes that it will indeed happen. Eastover will be back to a reasonable number of students and will still have a strong parent base that made it the hottest ticket in town. A seasoned, experienced staff and a principle with a PhD doesn't hurt matters. All rising 5th graders have the option of staying. A preliminary poll appears to indicate that many of them will remain for their 6th and final year at the best little school in town that once again will be the littlest school in town. I will keep you updated as things develop.
