FALSE Rumors and Representations

I think the school district could care less about the taxpayers of the district. They think we are nothing more than a blankcheck to fund whatever they want.

And I call into question their care and concern for the children. How long ago did they say the district was overcrowded? Are we any closer to solving the problem?

IMO, If they were committed to that, they would have examined other available sites equally and not pursued BB solely.

THEY DID! What do you call the Bolingbrook site and the land not far from NVHS and the church site on Eola? Why are you so insistent that the SB is out for their own interests? Their interests are the same as the rest of ours. They live here, pay taxes here and have children who go to school here. Get off your soapbox of "hidden agendas." No one would put themselves through working as many hours as our SB with no pay if they didn't have the districts best interest at heart. Now let's look at who might have ulterior motives and hidden agendas: PL, wants to sell land and houses; MD wants to sell houses...

forthekids - I agree with your post completely. You said exactly what I would have written if I'd seen this first. Thank you!

I was surprised to see how many on this board were convinced PL's letter was not authentic. It was interesting the first thing that came to mind was someone working for a SB candidate. Now we know PL wrote it so we are moving on to the next level of slaming. Have we lost sight of the fact that if BB was a done deal last fall (during their discussion with SB members) or a done deal now, we would not be having this conversation at all? Where are the open minds? Not here apparently... don't waste precious time responding to my comments, I will not be viewing them. Good luck to you all. It has been entertaining.

oh nice -- a hit and run post.....

also remember if the referendum had passed the first time we also would not be in this situation - the 'open minds' are here and have been working hard for 2 years to make sure special interests never sidetrack this district again.

also: FYI the reason many of us waited and questioned the writings was to give Paul Lehman the benefit of the doubt with regards to the multiple e-mails it appeared to be, no one wanted to assume anything...I would think that is a good thing, not a negative. I would want someone to hear it from me, not assume something I said.

Have a nice day, don't forget to vote ;D

Asking about the specifics of the email like claiming it can all be solved in 60 days or who certified or approved that the 'site layout plan' is actually workable and asking for specifics on how the open issues will be solved or addressed (power lines, substation and railroad, not to mention the traffic) is 'slamming'?

I must need a new dictionary.

I'll admit it - I didn't think PL wrote it due to the fact that there were multiple revisions, it was poorly written, and it was very adversarial and accusatory. I thought I was giving him the benefit of the doubt in thinking that he didn't write it. Even anti-SB blankcheck thought someone posted it to smear pl. Go figure.

I am sorry it was Lacy, I always get you two confused and it wasn't to WVHSSTUDENT. It was making a 7th grader feel bad about going to WVHS.

yeah that comment said it all-- and two of us that would be afftected here - (Arch and I ( I believe) already responded - that that was fine - BB was still the best for the district period, just not the best for some special interest groups who somehow feel WVHS is below them -which is really tiresome at this point besides being totally wrong.

was also in the same run that included "...didn't buy into that school area - bought into NV so it doesn't affect me..." as opposed to buying into SD 204 -- no guarantees on which school- which is obviously the rub for a small group.

I already have a WVHS graduate, if I have another so be it, will save me on buying parent support apparell.

I believe that is what motivates you to be on this site all day and most of every night (the desire to have your child go to another school other than WVHS).

I know that you would love to twist the meaning of my comment around, but I know what I meant and I'm sure others do too. It's just useful to you and others to spin it another way.

It isn't what I think, but rather what I believe you think.

And if you didn't spend so much time on this board, you would probably be running the free world, you are so much more important and brilliant than the rest of us. ;D

Another diss to WVHS.

She still thinks our kids will be struck, er, stuck at WVHS.

From you, yes.

You try to further your agenda by claiming everyone is picking on WVHS. But really, what's your motivation for being on here constantly?

Your little game is getting very tiresome.

Lacy, I am from an area that fought to stay at WV. I have gotten to know the people you have just slammed, you are wrong. Dr. Who would be happy with any school in this district because, his daughter was stuck at WV before and recieved an awesome education. Please, don't reflect your feelings about WV on the rest of us.

Not everyone, only you and your wonder twin.

Your little game is getting very tiresome.

If you don't like my posts then don't read them.

Someone's game is getting tiresome.

And, someone's been on this board & posting alot lately, too. What's YOUR motivation lacy? Never mind, we all know.

very sad isn't it ? And tries very hard to twist it somehow to being the fault of people who spend time on the board -

Wow. You seem to be throwing out a lot of accusations lately. First the wild accusation at the moderators last night with your theories on why some people aren't posting lately, and now accusing doctorwho of spending time here to get his own child out of WV? Don't you know anything about him after all this time? Other than his credentials that don't impress you?

Have you met a single, even ONE person whose child attended WV and wouldn't want their younger child/children to attend there?

I haven't.

[movingforward]

Lacy,

You are transparent along with your twin. You are fooling no one, especially this board.

No one has to twist your comments at all - which is why I laughed when people questioned why the board was down last night.

The best thing for this SD is when people of your mindset speak, because you say things we could never make up.
1. "your kid will be stuck at WVHS "
2. " I didn't buy in the WVHS attendance area so it doesn't affect me"

then claim somehow that you don't want NVHS at any/all costs to this district. Quite frankly I wish you'd get your wish, as no one wants to deal with that attitude when the new school opens.

In fact you are telling Arch and I we already are signing up for WVHS because in your world no progress is being made towards the new school anyway -- so how would you explain why I would still be pushing for BB ? You can't. If I was out for myself like you, I would be pushing for MACOM as we likely end up at NV - the Holy Grail for you. And all the smart alec comments about me from people like you, I just consider the source so type away...

And why does it bother you so much where I spend my time. I already have a wife and mother, I don't need either from you, nor a keeper. Grow Up !

I couldn't be any clearer in saying if BB site doesn't open in 2009, I am fine with my child going to WVHS just as her sister did. I know this is incomprehensible to you as you will do anything to stay out of either other HS -- and if I thought everyone in your area was like you I would vote to give you that wish - trust me. But they are not thankfully - and they will be great partners at MVHS.

Contrary to your opinion you did not buy a house linked forever to NVHS -- you are linked to SD204. If that does not suit your needs, there are other SD's I am sure that can use your wit and wisdom.
