Rocky Mount wants a new high school building costing around a million dollars. It wants it now and the only way to get it is through a bond issue.

In response, the Aldermen of Rocky Mount have resolved to abolish the Rocky Mount Charter District, which effects not only public schools but health systems, taxation, liquor laws, and welfare funds among many other things.
