100% pure rumor, please don't take what I was told as factual as I don't know a ton of Boyd County people, but some that I do told me the following:

The new Boyd County High School was built to hold the Fairview Independent students in the event that Fairview could no longer financially operate. Apparently this is something the County was expecting to happen. I personally hope this does not put extra strain on the school operating academically and I am not calling for this to happen, just strictly what I was told last year as they were completing the new school.

That has been rumored since the plans for the school cam out, but to be honest Fairview doesn't have that many kids. Some will go to Ashland, some will got to Russell, some will go back across the river to Ohio and WV.

Boyd County High School might get 200 kids.....maybe.

Fairview has been on borrowed time financially for a little while now.
