This week’s Rhino writes up Guilford County Schools’ efforts to buy land for its proposed airport-area high school, funding for which was approved in the 2008 bond referendum.

Remember GCS was just smacked down by county commissioners because they want to buy land that’s too far north to relieve crowding at Alamance Elementary School. Now the school system is looking at airport-area land that is too far south to relieve crowding at Northwest Guilford High School.

But there’s another issue: GCS wants the City of High Point to run water and sewer to the new school, but City Manager Strib Boynton isn’t guaranteeing anything until the schools lift the “cloak of secrecy” surrounding proposed sites.

Here’s a suggestion for GCS. Remember how Chief of Staff Nora Carr was “rude and combative” toward the Greensboro City Council back in June, provoking the council to delay running a water line to Alamance Elementary? Perhaps Carr should be nice to Boynton. Really, really nice. He’s a tougher nut that the guys in G’boro.
