does this mean a NEW lawsuit is being filed against the SD?

[Arch]

I liked the 11.5K for re-doing the lighting for the empty display cases at MV...

The light there now will illuminate the absent trophies the same as new lighting will...

[Arch]

Future agenda item: Develop process to keep private High Schools from recruiting athletes.

Be afraid... be very afraid... Here it comes again.. Agenda item to move forward with this group.. and lots of talk about the 2005 'survey' that got us the scare tactic of split shifts

www.communityopinion.com/index_more_new.html

$17,000+ for a new 'survey'....



The Center for Community Opinion offers quality demographic, market and survey research to individuals, businesses, institutions and government agencies. Each survey is preceded by careful background research and attention to detail as survey questions are developed. The results and analysis provide valuable information that promotes sound decision-making in areas such as policy development, market planning and campaign strategy.

Working with school districts, libraries, community colleges and cities, The Center has provided survey research skills that have helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars through voter-approved General Obligation bonds and operating taxes. Our survey research provides the predictive tools required when communities ask local voters to allow them to build the schools, libraries, storm drains and other facilities needed to maintain and enhance the quality of life. Here are the people who make this happen.

Paying for AC in the ES's is being talked about to include in the survey... Perfect question for a cold month of August.

That will go over like a lead balloon.

[sashimi]

This is not a survey, it is polling....and there is a big difference. A survey is done to figure out what someone thinks for the purpose of trying to accomdate these thoughts. Polling is done to try to figure out how to later make folks who disagree with you to support your agenda (as we have seen, even if that means misrepresenting facts or threatening things like split shifts if you do not jump on board).

Worst part is that they are using our tax dollars to determine the best and most effective way to manipulate us.

[Arch]

Piehl thought it would be a good idea to delay this until Nov'ish due to the 'B' problems lately (bussing)... not a good time to ask "how are we doing?".... Also note, Mrs. Piehl, it's not a good time of year to ask people about AC in the elementary schools... Brrr....

[Arch]

Motion to move to Exec session... moved by M2, 2nd by SR...

CP must not read the HErald- it only affected afew kids and they quoted a mother laughing about it -- why is he concerned ?

[Arch]

Apparently it's not fair that we are asked to share some of the ongoing maintenance costs of a traffic signal that only serves the school..
