Could a Bingo game save some Henry County schools?
The Laurel Park Booster Club seems to think so.
They operate a bingo hall every Friday and Saturday night.

[IN Q=It's amazing]
((ROBERT STEGALL/PARENT: IT'S AMAZING YOU KNOW WHAT IT DOES FOR THE SCHOOL.)) [Runs03]
[OUT Q=for the school]
((QUICK NAT SOUND OF THE GAME))
What's so amazing is the amount of money these bingo games take in.
Last year, the booster club says it grossed 1.7 million dollars.
That money helped to fund scholarships and other educational programs in the Iriswood District.
Now, the group wants to use that money in a different way....to help fund the school system's projected deficit.

Under the current reconfiguration plan, Laurel Park will become a middle school next year.
Laurel Park high school would then consolidate at Magna Vista.
