Applause is in order for the silent majority.
Members of our community have finally begun to voice their positions in the seemingly endless battle over the function and future of our schools. There was a time when the mountain community always reacted positively to the needs of our schools. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. For several years the Cloudcroft Board of Education, the school administration and staff have been under attack from Messrs. Flynn, Bunn and their supporters. Two bond elections were opposed by this group and certainly their efforts were most influential in the defeat of those issues.
