GRAVES COUNTY — Al Chandler, superintendent of Northside Baptist Christian School, the only private school in Graves County, plans to vote for Amendment 2 — but not because he thinks his local public schools are failing students or families.
“We really have wonderful, wonderful schools. Mayfield and Graves (County) both in our county, are just great schools,” Chandler said. “That really makes the conversation even more muddied if we bring it into our region up here because of the quality of choices that we have.”
