[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Local government affects the quality of my kids’ education, the value of my home, the length of my drop off/pickup commute, and the extent to which I’m in community with my neighbors and their kids based on common schools. You are GD right that is an area where I will bring my self interest to bear and demand competence and accountability from the collection of gomers they’ve assembled to plan for the county and its schools. This is an embarrassment.

And you can take your “lily white” and your “toxic culture” and all the other empty euphemisms you have for liberal white guilt and stuff them. Caring about the fact that our elected officials at county and school board have created a disaster without any semblance of a solution does not make us mean spirited. [/quote]

Thank you. I will not apologize for questioning every decision and data point APS comes out with. These are the same people who redrew boundaries while forgetting to add together all of the planning units they put at a school. Where did these extra kids come from they said!

I don’t object to some of their goals but those goals are finally becoming clear in month four of this initiative. It has been a moving target with changing criteria and timelines. They cancelled a community meeting set for tomorrow just this afternoon!

How can we just sit back and trust they won’t do something completely idiotic? [/quote]

Like decide not to build Reed after all?[/quote]

OMG!  Right?  Let's wait until we can't put one more single trailer on each school site before we start building.   :roll:

I'm not convinced it's a terrible idea. The SB's decision for creating scattered high school seats rather than a fourth high school was always a terrible one, and I'm glad they're willing to swallow their pride and revisit that decision now that the limitations of the decision are becoming more and more clear. And they're right that the high school level is the one least able to manage excess capacity with trailers. But there simply isn't the money to do all of it unless the CB ponies up a whole lot more cash.[/quote]
