Knox County officials on Monday will
host a tour of the new Tim Burchett Elementary School for the Carter Community, which will be
up and running this school year.
Yup, the county will take possession of TBESFTCC during a ceremonial check presentation event thing. The mayor,
whom the school is named after (hey, that's just what I heard anyway)
will present the check to Partners Development, the builder that took
over after the initial winner pulled out of development because of –
"ahem" – ties to local royalty and (because it's a long story).
The mayor will be joined by
Superintendent Jim McINtyre, Commissioner Dave Wright, School Board
member Mike McMillian and a number of other local elected folks who
want their picture taken. Heh.
A tour will follow the check cashing - I
mean, passing - ceremony. There also will be a reception with light
refreshments in the school's cafeteria, so expect at least a few in
the media to show up for breakfast.
Oh yeah, the whole shin-dig kicks off
at 10 a.m. Monday at 8455 Strawberry Plains Pike.
