Harriman High School, Roane County High School and Rockwood High School would close under a scenario approved by the Roane County Board of Education on Wednesday.

By an 8-1 vote, the board approved a plan to build a new consolidated high school for those students. Midway High School and Oliver Springs High School will remain open under the plan.

The Rockwood teen accused of sexually assaulting another student on a Roane County school bus was arrested on Friday.

Guy William Hart, 18, is charged with sexual battery. The alleged crime occurred on April 19.

A report filed in the case said the alleged victim had to sit beside Hart on the school bus because it was full.

Hart is accused of touching her inappropriately multiple times during the ride.
