Notes from the 2006 School Baord meeting indicate that the purchase of Kenna Ridge was a close vote....
On November 10, 2006, in a special meeting held three nights after the school bond issue was defeated 75% /25%, the Jackson County Board of Education voted 3-2 to purchase six acres @ $80,000 per acre in the Kenna Ridge Business Park to relocate Kenna Elementary School. The developer was donating an additional six acres of level land. At that time he donated an additional six acres of unusable hillside.
So after the voters spoke with their vote saying they didn't want a school built at Kenna Ridge Business Park, the Jackson County School Board voted to buy the land anyway.... Hmmmm.... And they couldn't even get a unanimous vote... Maybe that was an indication that this wasn't the best decision to make...
