The fate of Fayetteville’s E.E. Smith: Cumberland commissioner candidates show split

Pavan's Comments on the future of EE Smith

Speaking with Myron B. Pitts of The Fayetteville Observer, 

"Patel said: “I think we need to do what’s best for the students,” adding that each year spent waiting to give them a “proper facility” impacts their opportunities.

Also: “A new facility might entice teachers to come because they’ll have access to more resources — just a better facility.” 

Patel said he wants to hear more from parents of elementary school and middle school children, who would eventually be the students attending a new high school."
