It was around a 35% participation of those who cast votes vs numbers on the checklist.

35% is actually more than most towns got, most were around 25% and the elected officials are complaining that during the November election it was a much bigger turn out. What makes no sense to me is you have more power in a local election than you do a Presidential.

The quality of the education should not be related to brick & mortar. This is a red herring if I ever saw one. Students should be eager to learn, and teachers should be eager to teach. That's the standard for a quality education. Set up a tent and let the kids learn in there, just like some of these 3rd world societies. That's the true test, not building campuses that rival Harvard and Dartmouth. Enough is enough.

I'd prefer not to see this thread turn into a "political discussion" when the focus was to just ask for information and counts (data). Many people involved with the proposed renovation who have volunteered hundreds of hours of their time to try to improve our school. Kudos to them for being involved!

If you'd like to be involved in the process and help finding a solution to the building needs, please IM me for information. I'd be glad to help you help us!

Honestly, I'd love to help. The problem is, I run my own business and have to work my butt off to earn enough money to pay these outrageous property taxes - of which, the school portion is the highest percent. Talk about a dog chasing his tail! I applaud and appreciate the people that give their time and efforts to work on problems and solutions. I just don't have to agree with them.
