I know it's what you meant, you're just wrong. You may want to get closer to these decisions before you start slamming every one of them. You don't know me or who I am, so don't talk about me as if you know my level of involvment, because you don't. |

IMHO the SB just used the justification of building a MS on the 25 acres, I don't think they ever really planned on doing it....they had to say something and that was the best they could come up with. Do you think at the time anyone would have bought the truth that they bought it knowing they were going to try and get the rest later. At that time, ( after the 1st Ref) they all would have strung up from the nearest tree..... So are you admitting that there was an ulterior motive in at least one of their actions? Quick, call Oliver Stone! |

"Never planned" interesting choice of words.

Never planned is WVHS' opinion not the SBs.

How do you know Bob that that was not the opinion of the SB?

The 25 acres was the back up plan, if the second referendum didn't pass, they would have built a MS to relieve the crowding and go with split shifts.
Get the 25 with rights. Referendum passes take the other 55. If not, no more referendums for 3rd HS, build a MS which is needed and figure out the HS. Not much of a conspiracy there, just good planning.

I never said that. If the referendum failed for the final time, we still had a MS problem so a MS would be built on the 25 acres.
2006 referendum fails, no more 3rd HS, we need MS space build MS on 25 acres and somehow deal with HS crowding.
It was good planning by the SB to buy the 25 acres because it was going to be used either as a MS or as parcel for the 3rd HS. The result depended on the referendum.
If the 2006 Ref failed, we would have had a new MS to relieve MS crowding and no relief for the HS over crowding. The latter would have to decided someway else like split shifts.

BTW - I knew when I started posting this morning that it wouldn't take long for things to degenerate into personal attacks. Yep, I'm right yet again. It is NOT a personal attack so don't try and make it one, if you were closer to the process and the decisions you would know the facts you are asking for....period. So please remove the martyr shield. btw - would you call your comments about snakey goings on by SB members as personal attacks, or is that OK ? |

But now you're saying it does? the twisting continues ( and then complains of personal attacks) - no one ever said the MS there would relive the over crowding... it would relieve some of the MS over crowding - and then we're back to the split shifts plan. For someone who is crying about your level of involvement, again a fact you would know if you were as close to this as you claim. Not a personal attack, just a fact. |

I'm no martyr just don't want anyone on this board to make assumptions about me or what I do. I'm trying real hard not to make any assumptions about you right now. But if I do, I won't voice them here. I'd hate for you to feel attacked. Sorry you misunderstood my snake comment. It was not an attack on the school board, just HC. I don't think it is appropriate to attack volunteers. Since he presumably is not here to defend himself I suppose I shouldn't call 'em like I see 'em. His actions speak for themselves. So I will no longer apply any adjectives that I deem appropriate to them. Happy now? |

I recall a "matrix" evaluating various property locations. It was used to judge BB as best option. I wonder how this new site would score?
I will give HC and JC the benefit of the doubt thusfar. Feasiblily studies, Forest Preserve sharing issues... and the biggest issue the power lines. The devil is in the details. Sounds like the developer had since Oct to negotiate his price to the SB satisfaction, and could not do so. Going through the press sounds like his last gasp attempt.
Given two equivalent (assuming jury verdict will have similar price, which I truly believe) pieces of property for MVHS, I chose ones without power lines running through middle. Moving high voltage lines is a big deal. Is there a real cost estimation on this? I cannot think of another school in the area with power lines on the property.
I hate that school boundaries are even an issue at all with this. I wish reasonable people would understand that we have virturally two equivalent HS's and will have in the future three equal HS's. The Boundary War was not this Districts finest hour...its costs will be felt for a while, I am afraid. The fact that its part of the discussion now is a burden.
Being that MVHS is slated to open with only two classes inititially, could construction be phased such that a summer time building start still allows school to open in time? Maybe we will get lucky (as we have been) with mild winters and lots of out-of-season construction progress? If delay means WV and NV need an extra 1 yr before getting relief, what is required?
