All students deserve to spend
their learning day in proper educational facilities. Please view the photos
below taken at four of our overcrowded schools and think about the children and
their teachers who spend each and every day without running water, without
bathrooms, without proper ventilation and without the security of being in the
main school building during a school-wide lockdown. And
please remember, that inside the main buildings, we have as many as 30 students
per classroom in elementary buildings. Read More >>
These buildings are old and far
too small for their existing student bodies.
No amount of
“modernization” will get the
students out of the portables into “modernized” buildings. And anyone who has done a renovation knows,
there are potentially serious and costly problems behind the walls of old
buildings – mold, mildew, systems out of current code, etc.
The District’s planned new
schools move us in the right direction towards providing additional classrooms
for so many of our children. Will it be
enough – probably not. Projections are
not an exact science. Unfortunately this
district knows that if they build a single extra classroom that goes unused,
the complainers will be out and shouting loudly before the paint dries!
We can’t wait until 2015 to begin
the process of moving forward– please vote yes on No. 3
