old fart 47 Since: Sep 10 17 Atlanta, GA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Jun 19, 2012 Judged: 1 1 1 The Tennessee watchdog .com reports that the Newport Grammar schoolis $445,000 over budget for the last two years. What are the Alderman and school board doing about this situation? If I were a city of Newport taxpayer I would be concerned and want some answers about this situation. We all know somebody is going to have to pay for this and the alderman and mayor have their head buried in the sand looks like. Here is the link if you dont believe just copy and paste into your address bar. tennessee.watchdog.org/2012/05/31/officials-w...

It should concern every taxpayer that lives in this county. we can probably look forward to taking the Grammar school into the county school system. Annexation a is way to raise the raise the tax base. I wonder what the elitist will do if that should take place. Anybody living in the county that wanted to take their kid to Grammar School could do so and not have to pay the fee like you do now. It would also force the county to change school policy about going to school based on what district you lived in not by where people wanted their children wanted to go to school. The city council will have to address this issue whether they want to or not. The city cannot continue operating the school by going over the budget $445000 every two years.

I agree with this completely. I have two daughters that actually go to NGS and its so sad how costly that school is, not only for the tax payers though but for the parents too! I pray that something happens to help the cost go down in a very extreme way!
