BUCHANAN -- Two startup petitions and "No Outsourcing" fliers and T-shirts are in place in Buchanan, where community residents are challenging the Buchanan Community Schools Board of Education's move to explore privatization. More than 70 Buchanan residents and school employees -- who call themselves the Concerned Citizens of Buchanan -- showed up at an informal meeting of the minds Tuesday night to address ways to combat the idea -- a possibility they claim neglects the value of school safety and security.
