[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cross-posting from the other thread about emailing the county and school boards:

The County Board apparently thinks that parents aren't paying attention.  As mentioned pages and pages ago, John Vihstadt joked during the Joint Work Session about giving teens coffee so that they'll go to zero period classes.

I also just got a form letter response to the email I sent to the County Board, and it was signed by Libby Garvey.  It reads in part:  [i]For this proposed CIP Budget, the School Board showed us a 10-year plan to meet nearly all of the increasing capacity demand at the elementary, middle and high school levels through new construction projects and through renovation and modification of existing school buildings.[/i]  This is an outright lie.  The CIP shows a TBD line for 1,000 HS seats.  The County Board either still doesn't get it, or really thinks they can just punt this down the road.  My letter to the School Board got a form response signed by the chair, indicating that their final decisions would take into account community input.  I'll be emailing back today, treating it as if it were a real email, asking exactly what they mean by that since it's great to hear that they are listening to the concerns of the taxpayers (can you sense my sarcasm?).

If you haven't already, please reach out to the school and county board![/quote]

I emailed last week. Willing to do it again.

Might even show up at that VOICE meeting, unless it will turn out to be a way to paint people as uncaring.[/quote]
