(( On the surface, it seems like an easy math question.. should you build a brand- new elementary school for 10-point-8 million dollars or spend even MORE money to renovate the existing school.
Educators who have sweated out the years at Appomattox Elementary say they know the answer.

But some say progress would come at the expense of heritage.
Appomattox Elementary is built around the old Carver- Price School.. this four- room section that once stood alone as the county's only school for black children.
It was named in part for Mozella Price, who served more than 40 years as the superintendent of the county's black school system before integration.

In a legal battle between the Federal Election Commission and the Virginia-based Christian Coalition - a federal judge chose sides today - mostly with the Christian Coalition.
Judge Joyce Green threw out most of the charges that alleged the Coalition's contact with campaigns and distribution of voters guides to churches amounted to excessive campaign contributions for Republican candidates.
But Judge Green also ordered the Coalition to pay a civil penalty to the F-E-C for advocating Newt Gingrich's election during his 1994 bid to gain G-O-P control of the House.
She also found that the Coalition improperly shared its mailing list with the Senate campaign of Oliver North in 1994.
