Following the celebration of Christmas and the New Year’s holiday, work will begin to hopefully find new funding for the Obion County School System.
Members of the county school board and County Commission recently met in front of a packed Courthouse Courtroom, to explain financial issues facing the educational system.
Following the nearly two hour meeting, County Mayor Steve Carr said he heard positive debate on the issue.(AUDIO)
Director of Schools Tim Watkins said it was going to take a joint effort to find a solution to the funding problem.(AUDIO)
Former Budget Committee Chairman Danny Jowers talked about the two-million dollars that will be needed over the next two years.(AUDIO)
Plans now call for school board members to look at cuts in the system, with the county Budget Committee to locate additional funding revenue.
