Can one of the WE residents answer this question about the SB meeting anf if it did when? Yes, WE did have a meeting with HC, KB, & BG. It was before the boundary meetings but I can't remember exactly when. Has anyone confirmed that, in fact, the SB has refused to speak with the HOA? I need to go back and read the post, but I thought the SB wasn't invited. Forthekids, Thanks for the information. I thought I'd talked with a friend from WE about that very meeting. I appreciate your answer. I can confirm the school board DID in fact DECLINE our request. In fairness to them, it might be because they are coming out here on the 6th for the PTA meeting. Again, I think it's a mistake for them not to come. The atmosphere of the two forums (PTA vs HOA) are very different. People will be very hesitant to ask all the questions they need at the PTA meeting. In my opinion, that's not good. People here need more information they won't get from the PTA meeting environment. |

I was responding to M3K, but did not quote it. Your message got in-between. Anyway, I just thought that M3K's comment was vindictive and indicates losing sight of why a 3rd HS is needed. Gumby, With all due respect, I think that's exactly the point I made regarding how people in TG with questions are being stereotyped. If people's questions are not being addressed by the school board and they don't have the comfort level to vote yes, are they vindictive? The tone of the message is mainly what drew my reaction. Not necessarily the content. The response just seemed petulant and vindictive. I could be wrong, since it is sometimes difficult to guage "tone" through written messages. |

I just got a tip that these two are meeting tonight. Can anyone confirm? True, TG homeowners only. The School Board declined the invitation for a meeting. They invited people to attend the PTA meeting on 3/6. I wish they would have accepted the invitation. There are many I know that would rather meet with them outside of the PTA environment. I'm not sure of their reasoning. Have they met with other HOA? Yes, the SB has met with other HOA on several occasions. High Meadow and White Eagle are just 2 that I am 100% sure of. With at least a couple of meetings with White Eagle, one meeting having occurred AFTER the boundary decision. I believe there is even a summary of that meeting on this board. |

I think maybe the SB was smart in its decision, given the past reaction of TG to the present boundary decision. The SB may already be considering TG a lost cause. It is not an altogether unreasonable assumption.

From a possible SB perspective, if they meet with TG then the Brookdale area would want a closed door meeting, then Gombert. They are already having meetings at all the schools so how would this be different from the Scullen and Fry meetings.
Also, do you really think JC is going to cross 83th for the next 2 years? ;D
ETA:
Why would you think that? I have good info that the preschool wants to expand and is looking at Peterson or Wheatland. I don't see them emptying Fry for Peterson. Whta happens if Sector G takes off? It really doesn't make sense. I also expect that Fry will stay at Scullen.

In response to overcrowding.
How much of the allegded overcrowding is relieved at NVHS with a new HS?
How much overcrowding is relieved at WVHS with a new HS and the loss of it's freshmen campus?
Won't these schools still be considered mega schools?

NO take it to another thread.
This thread is about Tallgrass and TG only.

The tone is probably in response to the unsatisfying Scullen meeting. The fact that the SB cannot tell us if Fry will stay at Scullen is more than a little alarming. Scullen is actually in our subdivision. The Fry community is already feeling less than welcome in the 204 community. When the SB behaves in a way to yet again dismiss the Fry community's concerns people are bound to get upset...again. |

There are many here in TG and Pencross with little ones not in the schools yet. They do not get all the emails from the district. I have been forwarding all the meeting dates to those people so they can at least come. If there was a HOA meeting most of these people would feel more comfortable coming and would be more informed of the meeting. In the SB defense I did hear from a HOA person that they are very busy with all the PTA meetings, but they were asked right after the boundary meetings. Why did WE get one?  ? |

Your information is incorrect. The SB only met with the HOA once and it was before the boundary meetings. You may be confusing the PTSA meeting at White Eagle Elementary school with a HOA meeting. There was only one with the HOA. |

They won't tell you because if they say you stay it means Welch is going to Still with WE.

Understood but the SB should never have opened that door with WE and High Meadow. Yet another example of the perceived inequities in this district.Also, do you really think JC is going to cross 83th for the next 2 years? ;D ETA: Why would you think that?
