The Barrow County Board of Education approved during its Tuesday meeting an architectural firm and a topographical survey for the new career academy and its future site off Ga. Highway 316. The board also moved forward with financing for the project by scheduling a called meeting 6 p.m. Thursday to finalize approval of $16 million in bond sales.

I am NOT Pleased that the Board of Education lacks so little forsight as to put our Children at risk, by build ANY Educational Facility along this Major High Speed, High Volume Roadway, equivelent to a Freeway through our County. This is a BAD Location for a good idea, and needs to be re-thought.

For those who dont know a young person DIED on 316 in Barrow County the day it opened. There is no need for a School Building NEAR or "OFF GA 316" for any reason, there is no need for that. It is not a for-profit business, it needs no "passing thru/out of town" advertising or exposure to Traffic like shopping centers.

This is WHY we need a Complete OVERHAUL of the Board of Education and Superintendents Office.

How is this "Centrally" Located anyway? -Not per the Popoulation, How many Barrow Students need to Die? --Is even ONE acceptable.

Think about your Children, what will 316 be like in 5 years? 10 years? Is that where you want Your Child?

You do realize that we already have students who drive that cross hwy 316 as well as busses that have to cross hwy 316 to get to the schools after picking up children.

If that is your only complaint, than it would seem that all is good.
