The Oak Grove Town Hall Meeting was held on April 19 and included a presentation by Erika Lindley from our lobby group ED RED. Erika was introduced by High School District Superintendent Prentiss Lea who explained how our districts are working in tandem together and share membership in ED RED. Erika was very helpful in outlining HB 1216 and explained that the bill now calls for a commission to study the topic of consolidation throughout the state. She indicated that the legislators do not appear to have an appetite for "forced consolidation".
About 60 community members attended the Town Hall meeting. All of the participants who completed the evaluation survey, indicated that they "agreed" or "strongly agreed" that the Town Hall Meeting was valuable.
