My hope is that those disappointed with today's outcome won't just give a blanket "no" to future referendums. Some,if not all, of the referendums that will come up with greatly impact our kids. Like SSM said, "with every win, there is a loss on the other end". I hope that everyone will keep an open mind when voting for these referendums and realize how our choices will affect the kids. If you choose to vote "no" on future referendums, that is your perogative. However, do it for the right reasons and not to spite the SB. They've not handled everything very well at times, but it's our kids who will be affected by any spitefulness at the voting booth. Unfortunately lori, many of us had kids whose plight was not considered at all. I understand totally what you are saying, however when your own children have been overlooked - and viewed as part of some re engineering of Waubonsie decision, I will not be supporting that cause. let me ask you this question one last time ( for old times sake) - did the people of Brookdale vote 80% No for the right reasons ? How did it work out for them ? I would expert areas that feel screwed by the location / commute/ site - switch to vote heaqvily like they did - when one feels like the screw job side of decisions are directed at your kids - ( like BD did, and I do now) - the answer for agreement on things will be no. Edited to Read My kid is more important than your kids buh bye |

you want the mods now after you bashed 3 people? No one is going to rescue you from your own ignorance. Just holding up a mirror avenge calling someone an idiot and calling someone a bore,,,,hhhmmm equal?? and then, there is the calling out of DR. who has completely switched sides when it did not fit his/her agenda That, too, is holding up a mirror peace to you in searching for the truth I have explained many times why I switched sides- your comprehension skills do not allow you to get it - so sorry. I did not want BB for myself- also in the archives- I preferred WVHS. I was willing to live with BB because it was the closest school...the shiny new school didn;t do anything for me when NV was built and doesn't do anything for me now. AS far as pushing the referendum, yes I did, based on trust that the 10,400 number was the correct one. That now turns out to be totally false ( as of March 4, 2008 - when I saw proof) - that will allow someone to change their mind. I have not changed my mind about you however, no matter how many different names you post under. Yeah, we know which ones are yours...and that is grounds for banishment also... however the way this board works now is we allow for opinions, even those we don't like. As for calling for my banning - after the stuff you have poseted over the years ( all availablke in the archives as well) - it's laughable-- but as for wanting me gone from the blogs -- today's ruling will likely give you your wish anyway. It will be the last time I explain anything regarding you - and I do so only for the newer posters who don't know what you are all about. You'll have to find a new hobby once I leave this board -- |

I had to chim in. I can appreciate your thoughts on winners and losers. I can also appreciate your thoughts on referendums up and coming. However, as a taxpayer for a VERY long time, I have a huge problem with just passing whatever the SB throws out there next (along with the usual spin tactics ie: split shifts, school won't open, can't hire PE teachers - even though our administartion level is flowing with new recruits). Sorry, I'm sure the PR firm has already been hired for the next go around. Yes - I am for the kids. Having said that, with the way the economy is now, you will never see the enrollment figures to the point that they say. Hence, less homes coming into the district means more that we will have to shoulder the burden of this mess. Sorry Mustang - the "Blank Check" has stopped. Huh? How did I get pulled into this conversation? I had no comments that I'm aware of on future referendum or spending. How strange.... |

I was thinking the same thing! ru4real is simply following the example that our SB / Admin continue to set. They all respond the same to educated and intelligent arguments..."fence that baby off" and "nincompoop" come to mind. Whatever.  |

I would expert areas that feel screwed by the location / commute/ site - switch to vote heaqvily like they did - when one feels like the screw job side of decisions are directed at your kids - ( like BD did, and I do now) - the answer for agreement on things will be no. I understand your position. I can't speak for Brookdale. I can speak for my own feelings about how people got "screwed over". When Owen East split off from Owen West without a word to/with the Owen West parents, it felt like we got screwed over, too. We would have supported their position and likely advocated for them knowing their reasons ( I realize they are similar to the reasons for Watts not wanting to travel all the way to Eola, but that is not my point). My point is the Owen community, IMO, and of others who I have talked to felt like they got thrown under the bus. I think it's water under the bridge now, but the now Owen West seems to always get the shaft. We moved from White Eagle ES, then to McCarty, and then to Owen. This group of people has the longest commute to an ES in the district. However, I don't think any one of us would change that now. So for us to have one of the longest commutes to HS I suppose is "no big deal" for us. In fact, the commute to Eola and the commute to Owen ES is the same - I drove it one day. People talked of putting the Eola site back on a ballot. Even though the HS will no longer be "in my back yard", I would still vote for the Eola site, so location has not made a difference for me. My support was for a 3rd HS and still is. I understand though, that there might be some that fall into the category you mentioned, and of course, there will always be those people in any district. My plea was just to keep an open mind regarding the referendum itself and try to disregard the people behind it. I know that will be difficult for some. However, there have been people that have visited the green board that have said they will do just that, so I have hope. |
