The Washington County Board Of Education Rejected A $1.8 Million Offer From The Town Of Jonesborough To Purchase The Jonesborough Middle School Property In A 6-3 Vote. The Proposal, Presented By Jonesborough Town Attorney Jim Wheeler, Included $1.3 Million At Closing And $500,000 Paid Over Five Years. While Some Board Members Emphasized Maintaining A Good Partnership With Jonesborough, Others Felt The Offer Was Too Low. The Sale Would Require Approval From The Washington County Commission, Board Of Education, And Jonesborough BMA.
