Jean, this issue has been simmering since the School Bond Referendum that was defeated in 1996... What was once a plan for a single large school, soon favored two smaller ones.
In recent weeks, the county has revisited the single school concept... and today a new citizens' group said enough!

But that was not the case for his fellow classmate. Lawyers for Andrew Golden, argued that while the 12 year old took part in the attack, he was't competent to stand trial. the judge was not sympathetic and ruled both boy's fate would be the same - guilty. it seemed to bring little if any reaction.
DANNY NOA/POOL REPORTER : IN TERMS OF EXPRESSION, THERE REALLY WASN'T MUCH THERE -- After declaring them both juvenile delinquents, the only thing left was sentencing. And that is what is turning the victim's families upside down all over again.
MITCHELL WRIGHT//VICTIM'S HUSBAND THESE TWO BOYS NEED TO SAY IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES."
Both are now guilty of gunning down five people -- four students and a teacher -- after luring them outside the school with a fake fire alarm. The oldest apologized to the court_the youngest did not. After an emotional afternoon, the judge ordered them into the custody of the department of youth services. it is up t that agency to determine just how long they will stay in custody. The judge promised however, both will serve an additional 3 months in jail if they're released from youth services before they turn 21. Not enough for those hurt they hurt the most.
