[edit] Editorial: Cabell school board must avoid unnecessary closed-door sessions

"Tuesday evening, the Cabell Board of Education will meet to hear results of a report evaluating several possible sites for a new middle school that would combine the existing Beverly Hills and Enslow middle schools. This could be the most controversial and contentious matter regarding a school site since the new Huntington High School site selection in the early 1990s.

Superintendent William Smith has said he wants the board to go into executive session to review the committee's information and recommendations before the report is made public.

That decision is up to the school board. The board should think carefully before going behind closed doors, away from the public, to discuss anything having to do with consolidating schools."
