Our county and city commissioners are in a bind! The parents of Adamsville Junior High School are clamoring for a new middle school for their children and are insisting that it be built immediately. In fact, angry parents have made themselves heard at the last three meetings of the school board, city council and county commissioners. In addition, the parents are demanding that the school be constructed in such a way that it is safe, environmentally friendly and economical to maintain. Upon learning that the 8th grade science students at AJHS are extremely knowledgeable about the environment, the commissioners have requested that we become part of the planning process for the new school.
