JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

The short of it - Brownwood will be closed after this school year. Students will be consolidated into Nelson Collins and Caldwell Schools. Dr. Reyes stated, in an impromptu Press Briefing afterwards, that the consolidation would save between $300 to $500 thousand dollars per annum.

Security will be upgraded at all schools, with active video monitors in 4 separate undisclosed, secure locations to cover all school entrances. Special "key" access will be implemented at all entrances with communications systems for folks who do not have a keyed access. The Junior High will incorporate special fencing with gated access.

Dr. Reyes stated he will be releasing a letter to the community in the near future regarding the Schools Consolidation now that the school board has approved the action. Dr. Reyes discusses schools consolidation, Feb 4, 2018 in the below video.  At this link, Scottsboro Schools Superintendent Dr. Jose Reyes discusses schools safety   and security:   http://www.scottsboroschools.net/home
