EH31 2,520 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I read in the BDT that the TCSB is putting up $250,000 to go toward Graham's new fieldhouse/gym. I was just wondering how much they put towards Richlands' fieldhouse that was built last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the Supervisors voted no with nothing against Graham but for the upcoming budget and staff cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Why would they build a field house when they don't have a field. Where is this field house going to be located? Sounds like the cart before the horse, when the horse is starving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 It isn't a "fieldhouse"...its an auxiliary gym which will have multiple courts and will be used for multiple purposes for the schools of Bluefield, VA and the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frito gonzales 103 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I believe it will also have a weight room, laundry facilities, coaches ofc's and locker rooms along with the basketball courts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker 82 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 If you can build a facility to benefit the schools and the community at 12.5% of its actual cost, isn't that sound fiscal management? So how much non-school funds are in the RHS facility, and is it available to be used by both students and the public? Unless I am mistaken, the two Supervisors were mostly focused on restoring the two big steps for teachers at 19 & 20 years. No one has ever discussed a plan to adjust a pay scale that gives teachers no step increases during their first six years of employment. I have worked a lot of places, and seen pay scales both public and private, but never have I seen one so skewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublue 939 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 http://bdtonline.com/localsports/x519513022/Richlands-to-name-new-fieldhouse-for-McVey excerpt: The new McVey facility will be an 80-by-120 foot metal building housing lockers, a weight room, videor facilities, and coaching office space. The Tazewell County School Board has committed $350,000 for building construction, but that will not address the inside construction of the lockers, weights, and office space. An additional $220,000 is needed for the entire project and the committee has collected approximately half that amount. Jon Bowerbank, a local business man, has agreed to install a new turf field to replace the existing grass surface at the stadium and a new scoreboard will also be installed to replace the outdated model currently being used. “We would like to complete our fund raising by June 30 and proceed with the final development of this project,†notes Hearl.

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Two of the Supervisors voted no with nothing against Graham but for the upcoming budget and staff cuts. I agree with a "no" vote: limiting staff cuts and helping the budget is exactly what should happen. Though, as Hacker said, even their priorities are misplaced. This is aside from the worst school board that Tazewell County has ever had... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
