Bradley County School Board member David KelleyCLEVELAND, Tenn. – Now is the time for the Bradley County school board to begin a savings account for a future science wing at Bradley Central High School, according to board member Troy Weathers.
It’s a good idea but now is not the time to begin setting aside $200,000 a year, according to board member David Kelley.
A two-week debate on the issue came down to a 3-3 tie vote Tuesday.
The board did approve a $65.5 million general fund budget for 2012-13 that includes a 3 percent raise for school system employees and contractor bus drivers.
The board also approved a $3.2 million capital projects budget, half of which is scheduled for roofing and heating and air needs at various schools.
