JHS Trustees nix new north-county high school

Last month, the Jefferson High School Board of Trustees circulated a survey to the community regarding the future of JHS, and the results revealed at the Jan. 19 meeting found that those who responded supported a renovation of the existing school. 

The long-touted idea of moving the school to the northern end of the county was rejected by the Board based on the responses received, and instead it will seek support on a levy that would allow a more comprehensive renovation to the school.

Out of the 6,405 surveys mailed to district registered voters, 2,036 were returned — a 30% response rate.
