I didn't have much faith in their weekend fund raisers. The football quarterback paid $35 to smash an old Mazda but there weren't enough of them to smash the huge athletic debts they accrued plus, the indebtedness that came with accepting Winslow schools just a few years ago. Fuball talk for the past 7 years ran up the debts at dear old Greenland. Any small town Super knows how to loosen wallets-talk fuball and basketball, but not for girls, well not too much. To cap all their woes they mimicked their favorite idiot, G.W. Bush, and have attempted to borrow their way out of insolvency. They failed because they don't own their own $ printing press and there are no rich patrons in Greenland and people everywhere in Ark do not want to pay for their schools.

This year of state-run Greenland Schools will give Board of Ed time to con the surrounding school districts into accepting the losses. I suppose there is no way the state will help with the expensive merger of a failing school.

This isn't a reprieve, it's a death sentence carried out through the most cruel means available.

This is what they have coming. They lied to Winslow when West Fork told them the truth...This gerrymandered district needs to be parceled out to West Fork (what was Winslow) and the area abutting Elkins needs to go to them, the rest needs go join Fayetteville. With this additional student body maybe FayetteNam will build a second high school and use the present Greenland facilities as a new JR HIgh and gradeschool. Oh yes, the state should assume the debt of any district annexed by another or by several.
