The school construction debate in Roanoke County takes a surprising turn.
Supervisors Chairman Bob Johnson wrote a letter to the school board offering to take control of the south county high school project.

Johnson says he believes the county can construct the high school on time and under budget. He says the facility would include all of the components recently eliminated by the School Board because of budgetary constraints.
In the letter, he writes that students get the facilities they need, the school board gets the structure it desires without financial risk, and the board of supervisors ensures careful stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
Members of the school board are skeptical.
