[ric]

This is what the $124.6 million dollar referendum was based on. Let's dsicuss the current numerous issues

and

the 2007-2008 overcrowded issues.

the referendum was a BUILDING referendum, so why the nonsense on the teacher salaries ?

as far as the overcrowding - it exists in numerous schools and will worsen just as the numbers have shown, and the resolution is the 3rd HS and 7th MS - which will come via a start no later than September - likely sooner. Not the answer you want, but the answer that is playing out.

I am not going to beat this dead horse again -- your answers are archived as people have cited the crowding situations in their schools - starting with NV....

I am waiting, like everyone else on the current issues to be brought to the fore.

So far no one has complained in the media or in any of the SB minutes about current overcrowding situations in any of the 23 buildings in District 204.

Period.

p.s. I don't archive as 'Yesterday's news is tomorrow's fish and chip paper.

Forgive me everyone if I beat a dead horse for a while. The solution to overcrowding is on the horizon and we are making due now which is why no one is screaming overcrowding. I can go get my son and ask him how much fun it is to get from class to class at WV if you want.

Ric, I believe this was all covered during last year's referendum.

I think the discussion has dies down because the 3rd HS and 7th MS is on it's way. If I remember correctly a point was made that this is just like when the Sd waited for NV to open.

no one asked you to archive anything, it's all available here on the board in the archived sections - many of these discussions are not more than 60 days old. Most people are done complaining because they know the solution is around the corner. Many of us have been through this once already when WV was severely overcrowded, but once we knew NV was coming, the complaining for the sake of complaining stopped.

Please don't pretend to speak for the majority - you don't.

There's no "complaining" right now because people are mature enought to know that a solution is in the works. How come you keep complaining about the lack of complaining?

Obviously Ric never archived or heard any of the number of parents last year who were talking about their hallways, lunchrooms, etc of the high schools or the middle schools. These people know what the solution is as they went out and voted for it. They also matured beyond the 2nd grade because they don't stick around throwing a tantrum about it when the solution has been voted on, passed and is in the works.

Funny thing about archiving. Some people were making a big deal about archiving a forum on here.

Archie!!! Making my point!!!

The hallways, lunch rooms etc were ssssooooo crowded last year

so we need a new hs

YET there is no one complaining today. If it were SUCH a HUGE issue, there would be portables today to help ease the next 2-3 years of "waiting patiently".

This thread proved my point ;D

Thanks

All that this thread proved is that you just want to stir things up (I think because you're bitter, but maybe it's because you're smarter than everyone else) - which is pretty consistent with just about every one of your posts.

Let's turn this around now. If you really believe what you're saying (that's not clear), and if you want to accomplish something tangible (that's not clear either), then here's what I suggest you do:

1) Gather enrollment numbers at each grade level.
2) Check the capacity of each school and the enrollments in each school.
3) Look at the number of residential units that are under construction, and the emprty land that is zoned residential.
4) Given all of the data above, show a reasonable projection of how there IS NOT an overcrowding at the MS and HS levels that is starting to build and will last a number of years.
5) Devise some "options" that will address any "temporary" overcrowding/capacity issues that you believe exist or will exist.
6) Present your findings to the SB & get them to buy into it so much so, that they decide you're right & they decide not to build MV and, instead, go with your "options".

Is that your desired outcome? I think I've given you a way to see it through.

Some other ideas:
Maybe you could create a group of Citizens, that spreads the word about your Options for Change?
Maybe people from your group could write letters to the editor?
Maybe people from your group could attend SB meetings and pester the SB with your questions and opinions?
Maybe you could take your findings to the press and try to gather public support?
Maybe your group could put up a website?
Maybe you could stretch the truth is order to gain public support?
Maybe your could try to get some people from your group elected to the SB?

I wish you well on your future endeavors ;D
