Taken from the December Board of Education article:
“The average cost is less than the District’s average received per pupil. There are no hidden costs or additional costs and the District gets to keep the difference in the finances,” said Lucia.
Superintendent Jim Turbeville explained they would like to review the figures first but felt like he would be recommending the program.
“We could consider implementing it for next school year but we want to be sure we’d be spending less, or at least breaking even,” he said.

Taken from the March Board of Education article:
When discussions began in December, representatives of Ombudsman originally stated that the school board would be saving money by implementing the program. In the last month or so, the board was notified that the system wouldn’t save money with the program but would actually have to spend an additional $90,000 (on the year) to be a part of it.

We want to know your opinion on the program, which is scheduled to begin in Tattnall County next school year.

When is Tattnall County going to spend $90,000 on the gifted or top students? Why is this money being spent on students who are probably not going to complete high school or who are discipline problems?
When is the Tattnall County Supterintendent going to tell the same facts in each story reported? The facts seem to change in each story as needed for public perception.
Getting these students, who are causing trouble in the school, out is the best thing that the school can do for the top students. Next year there will be no graduation tracks. Which means many of our top students will be in class with these students. That opens up the door for something different, ie Obundsman.
