That's not me either. I would have been proud to have my kids go to WV. My daughter attended summer school there and loved it. No problem with WV -- big, big problem with MV site. And thank you thank you to NSFOC for forcing the hand of 204 Admin and SB to publish the facts about the site so that intelligent people can draw their own conclusions. If it weren't for NSFOC this would have been a slam dunk for 204. That's the truth.

I agree.....you are one of the number one people commenting about others and what you foresee as their reason for wishing to atttend a school other than that which they are slated to attend. How the heck do you know what is in the mind of others? Your comments don't help fix the problem, yet instead is contributing to the stigma that WV is a nondesireable school all around. Exactly. Sushi, you have continued to claim every chance you get that our concerns are a cover for not wanting to go to WVHS. But you don't know me - and that's not true. With all the hostility out there, this type of talk creates a problem for the kids who may go to WVHS. I'm sorry if you haven't thought about that before. But I think you need to. I have thought about it Snerdly. I just quickly went through the last 300 of my posts and have not said anything about TG not wanting to go to WV since the aerial photo was posted in mid-March. I felt the point was made and moved on. Maybe it's time for you to do the same. I did witness first hand people voicing their "not wanting to go". I never said it applied to everyone. I did not write the sunblog. I merely commented on the post. |

I was at a lacrosse game last night and am amazed at how some people in this 204 district don't know anything about what is going on! And to add an interesting note, this was a parent who lives in TG.

I didn't look at 300 of your posts (have a few other things to do!), but I did look at 100 on both boards and came up with the following: This board - 4/8: Sushi: ....."The negative stigma will be most apparent at WV when our precious NV students attend". The other board 4/9: Sushi: "all this sensationalism is a disguise for the real issue, we all know it." 4/8: Sushi: ....It's OK to live under, but not go to school under (so sorry, couldn't resist)." 3/24: Sushi: "That lawsuit is mud in the eye of every person in 204. WHATEVER the motivation is, it screams of entitlement." When I get some time on my hands, I'll go farther back to the date of the ariel photo. |

Anyone can go back and find quotes out of context that are unflattering. Many of my previous posts, even while taken in context, wouldn't necesscarily reflect my position today. It would be really nice if we could move forward rather than stagnate. |

I'm also one who has become less centrist. While I was pretty annoyed by the NSFOC lawsuit, I've always had environmental concerns. It just doesn't make sense to me financially long-term and safety-wise to put the school at the AME/MWGEN site, particularly with the rush for 2009. The school board is being egotistical and short-sighted with this decision. It should be pointed out also, that many of the people on this board with strong opinions actually like many of the people on the green board even though they disagree at the moment. The more people I talk to, the more I believe this is where most of the district is. Most of us care a great deal about the district, yet are uncomfortable about saying so. Recently, I am sensing that the tide is changing. With more information coming out, people are becoming aware of the issue, and are starting to ask their own questions, and are more comfortable stating this position. As we speak to one another, we are realizing that we are not alone. SMOM is also dead on about many of us having friends over on the green board. And there are others "over there" that we have alot of respect for providing their reasoned counter views in the past. While we don't agree with them, at the moment, that doesn't change the fact that most of them are caring parents. JB and SMOM completely agree here. For the most part, I have much respect for the Green Board Mods. We certainly are not on the same page all the time but I have come to realize that is okay. Oh, and just one point of clarification. I am not eb204 on green or blue. I am WeBe204.. Formerly Brad204. So, me be WeBe not eb...  |

Anyone can go back and read those posts too - I would debate you that they were taken out of context. There is alot of hate mongering going on - and it is very destructive to the district and especially to the children. So anyone who constantly fuels that (whether they mean to or not), I will continue to say something about. Call it my new hobby.  |

I am not eb204 on green or blue. I am WeBe204.. Formerly Brad204. So, me be WeBe not eb... absolutely have friends on the 'green board' and friends are allowed to disagree... those are good points. I believe most (but not all ) posters really have what they believe to be the best interest of the district at heart...but seeing things differently is not always a bad thing. Of course now our Super has decided you're either ' wit'em, or agin' im' -- this is where the problems start. I also agree that as people get more info they choose what they believe to be right or wrong. The reason I think we're reading more about it lately is that if we're being honest - the true silent majority in this district - are those voters either totally or almost totally uninformed. As more of them take the time to dig into what's going on - the opinons get stronger. As someone who's done a lot of door knocking the last few years - most people you bring the issues up to are either hearing them for the first time, or listening for the first time. |

We all know how Sushi feels about TG. Funny thing is that she is actually quite popular in live conversation with others (just happened Tuesday waiting to get kids) as being the WE resident that keeps bashing her neighbors (WE and TG). Maybe when you are outta D204 schools in the next few months you adopt a different non-selfserving opinion. Yeah right! |

It is with heartfelt appreciation to the leaders of Midwest Generation that we are able to confirm that Midwest Generation has terminated negotiations with District 204 and will not be proceeding with the sale of this property for the purpose of hosting a school location.
As many of us have communicated from the start, this land was and is not appropriate to be used a a site for a school.
As we move forward, hopefully we can come together as a District and start rowing our oars in the same direction.
Best regards,
