But is it splittable.. Split out the Title 1 and leave it at NVHS. Splits seem to be fair game.  Good point. they sure split the *($# out of you! Yes, I am sure it will be very cost effective to bus 7 children up to Still. |

Why wouldn't they take Normantown? I see buses everyday using it. It's impossible to take a left there in the am. Trust me, I drove it everyday taking my kid to the shoreline preschool. On the off chance you can take a left there, you end up right on the tracks. |

Arch, I know you like to take the fear mongering route to get your way, but let me clarify, if the protocol for working on top of a pipeline is followed, which I have no doubt it will, there won't be a problem. I see no reason for the owner of the pipeline, nor the contractor to allow shortcuts to be taken, as they have a vested interest in protecting their ASSets, as they would be financially responsible for any damage from the building of said fields, now and in the future. I would not have a problem sending my kids there safety wise. As far as the commute, that I would have an issue with, but unlike you, I woulld stick with that, not drag in what if's and all the fear mongering to try and get my way. I like to point out potential problems with a plan and the dangers and risks we are embarking on. You like to belittle that as fear mongering and that's fine because that is your opinion. 30 years down the line if corrosion sets in and there's an accident who is going to pay for it and who is going to replace the empty seats at the dinner table if it goes really bad? How old are the pipes? Do you have any idea? (typo fix) |

I was not being very clear. Those 7 kids are the one from Ashwood Park. I was context switching and talking about the Peterson splits. |

If you are referring to making a left on 83rd/ Montgomery, that is a bad choice. That is why the buses I see turn left on Keating at the 3 way stop and go to the light at Eola. edited for spelling errors. |

Actually Arch, I don't know.Why don't you enlighten me as to the age of the pipelines?
I bet they weren't around in 1965. ;D

When they put out false info such that they did and makes you really say HMMMMMMMM. Put it this way, yes the bridge makes you walkers, but due to the enrollment numbers we can't fit you into NV. Sounds better then how our administartion handled it, makes you wonder what they are hiding. I believe we are paying them big bucks. My kids know it not smart to lie to me. When the SB puts out a memo that is false, it enrages people. Yes, we are lucky to live in a community that is involved. The SB should not be allowed to waste a dime of our money. We are wasting millions on this 3rd HS. Money that could be going to better educating our children. Also I don't care who you are and how happy you are over your boundary situation, but what this SB did to Peterson is sooooooo WRONG. If you move Welch it would be less pain for many and yes if Steck and McCarty walk across unsafe areas they too should move and alliviate the pain felt at Watts, Cowl, and Owen. The insesitivity to those who are being moved around on this board is really making blood boil. It is for everybody what happens in their own backyard and everyone is soooo transparent. WVparent has always wanted a northern site, so he put our info on BB. Now he is happy so screw Watts, Cowl, Owen, Gombert, Peterson ect. That to me is extremely selfish. Be very careful...I have NEVER said to screw any areas. Yes I have always wanted a Northern site...never denied that at all, but I also stated I would have jumped fully behind any support for BB once they started building. Now I also think the boundaries they came up with are messed up. I will support what I can to help Watts/COWL/OWEN/Peterson and Gombert. So quit your complaining and crying and come up with a reasonable solution and a reasoned presentation to the SB. If all you are going to do is whine, you then deserve what you get. Sorry, WVHS I let my anger get the best of me. I didn't mean to say that you want to see any area screwed. I really don't believe that I have whined in my posts. I have always stated I want to see fair and logical boundaries. I have always said I can except a change if I felt it was done fairly. Now we are being lied to by our administators and that is totally unacceptable. I am tired of reading and hearing negative comments about the Fry community. We have a lot to be angry about, just like the other communities effected by this and I have the capability to feel for Owen, Peterson, Watts, and Cowl. |

Just curious given the impending CN purchase. Was that figured into the travel time calculations. I would imagine each should have 10 mins added to he calculation. Not really using that as a defense fore or against but I think it accurately represents the 2009 situation. |

I bet they weren't around in 1965. ;D The lakehead ones were operating in the 70s from what I can tell and the peaker plant first fired up in June of 1970... There is a feed for that one that has since been shut off (the 4th one that runs through the property). at least 38 years by my math. What does your math tell you? |

Keating is a grade crossing.
I am sure the SD didn't take any of the additional train traffic into account when figuring travel times. That would be dealing in reality which really isn't their style.

Looks like 38 years to me.
What products currently run through the ones on site? How old are the ones in the RR right of way?

I have been really trying to accept the new site and my school’s assignment (Cowlishaw) and move past this whole thing, but I just can’t. I showed a family member that is not from this area and my son the new site and both comments were why do we have to go so far.
I have spoke to several parents in the district about the boundaries and they do not even know where Cowlishaw is.
Before anyone tells me to stop whining try taking the ride instead of just supplying google maps. With 3 High Schools there is no reason that any schools in this district have to travel to the furthest. I will have to deal with this situation until 2019.
