In this episode of The GreeneScene Podcast, hosts Shelly Brown and Dolly Throckmorton dive into one of the most pressing topics facing Greene County—school district consolidation. Joined by guests Bret Moore (Lead Editor at GreeneScene), Mike Belding (former Greene County Commissioner & GreeneScene author), and Brian Sokol (Carmichaels School Board Member), the group explores the complex web of population decline, funding challenges, and the emotional and economic implications of merging districts.
From nostalgic school pride and mascots to transportation logistics, administrative costs, and the potential for stronger academic and athletic competition, this episode breaks down both the practical realities and community concerns around consolidation.
