Neighborhood wants to secede from Campbell County Schools

It's finally happening!

Fed up with Campbell County's broken school system and outrageous travel times, a Fort Thomas neighborhood wants to secede from the right-wing Campbell County school district and join the Fort Thomas school system.

The neighborhood is part of the county school district even though it's completely surrounded by other districts. This is not the only illogical exclave created by the Campbell County Schools to help keep more students in the school district's grip.

As things stand, it's a 50-minute trip from the neighborhood to the Campbell County Schools' nearest grade school - forcing students to be waiting for the bus by 6:05 AM each day. Schools in Fort Thomas and other districts are much closer.

The Campbell County Schools have built such a ghastly record that it's a mystery why people don't attempt to join another district even if they live right up the street from the school board office.
