[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. Vote no because we don't need the career center project? What happens next? Seems like short-sighted thinking. You don't magically get a fourth high school by refusing to fund the career center, which is a part-time and full-time high school and gets expanded with the bond funding.[/quote]

Exactly. I wanted a fourth high school too but it's not going to happen. Voting down the career center project isn't going to help things. [/quote]

And this is why nothing changes. The board banks on this to get what they want. [/quote]

So what do you see happening if the bond doesn't pass. How exactly does that help our schools?

I see them realizing that they can't half-@ss their planning process anymore and going back to the drawing board to create a more thorough, comprehensive plan that voters would approve. [/quote]

Serious question... have you looked at the plan? It's pretty comprehensive, honestly -- new career center, kitchens, hvac, security vestibules. Also, they're doing a renovation plan. What are you looking for that isn't there?[/quote]

I'm the PP and the Career Center plan is anything but comprehensive. Question marks abound about the fate of Montessori and the old Career Center building. And the project seems to consume most of our debt capacity for the next ten years, which means that we're hosed if the assumptions underlying the CC project don't pan out. [/quote]

So you haven't looked at the final plan[/quote]
