When I first heard of the Floyd Central rumor around 2006-2007, the rumor was Prestonsburg would go independent and Betsy Layne would have merged with the other two schools into Floyd Central.

I know the first year of the school, they had some classrooms that sat empty. I would imagine they could take the kids from Betsy Layne as well, but I am not certain about that.

At the same time, money was spent to build Betsy Layne High School a new gym, which is basically a carbon copy of Floyd Central's gym. Personally, if they were going to close Betsy Layne High School, then I dont believe they would have built them a new gym when the Dome is still serviceable.
