A public hearing about closing Ringgold's Carroll Middle School
The Ringgold School Board voted Wednesday night to have a public hearing in March to determine whether to close Carroll Middle School.
State law requires a hearing before the district can close the school. If the board votes to close the school, Carroll students will attend Finley Middle School in the fall, said Superintendent Gary Hamilton. The district is considering closing Carroll and Finley middle schools and building a new middle school.
The public hearing will be March 9 at 7 p.m. in the Ringgold Board room.
The school board will also have an executive session Thursday at 7 p.m. in the board room to discuss buying property for the new middle school. The public will not be able to attend the closed session. However, board members said a decision will not be made after the meeting because a public hearing must first be held before they vote to buy property for a new school.
Do you think the district should build a new school?
