Not that his vote would of made a diffrence but it would of been nice to know that he cares about somewhere besides Walnut Hill.I grew up in downtown Century my husband and I graduated from there and our 4 children attended school there. I like to think we are all productive, law abiding citizens and proud to live in north escambia. Times change and progress moves in I do believe with the elected officials that we now have in Century that they are moving in the right direction. We have a nice clean, safe environment at Cenrtury/Carver, parents visit it and see what your children are missing.

This is what happens when they take the schools and the kids away. We lose our identity. Don't let them steal our identity. The school is to important to leave up to the school board. Everyone needs to get personally involved go to the meetings see if there is at least ONE single way that you can help the fight! “And there are some community issues and hurdles that have to be addressed,” he said. “The community is fighting to keep its identity.”

All the money that was put into remodeling that school and then we are going to let them close it. ( Are we going to rent it out for a dollar a year also???)The TAX PAYING PEOPLE of this county should be looked after better than this by our ELECTED officials. Elected means we have a vote use it in the election to put these people out of office. I believe it is going to be very soon so do your job as the PEOPLE and get out and vote. I went to a small school only 25 in my senior class. Glad they didn't find it inefficent when I was going to school. Mr. Paul and Mr. Gindl have made a huge error in judgement and the rest of the Board that voted to close this school are in the same boat with them. If money is the problem why not take some of what is paid to keep the tourist happy in the south end and put it to good use in the north end for a change. Why, because nobody is making a profit off of it. When did the school system become a profit making system. I thought all these years it for for the betterment of our communities not to make a profit. Hopefully we will make a better choice in the coming election. I don't live in Century but, I do work there and I have seen the effect that closing that school will have on the kids of Century. It is a DISGRACE what you are doing to these kids. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN MR. PAUL AND THE REST OF YOU ELECTED BOARD MEMBERS OF ESCAMBIA COUNTY. This is a sad day for the people of Century and the people of the north end of the county.
