I agree about the long term suitability and safety however, I DO care about the cost because we will be paying for this for a very long time. If they just happen to have an extra 20 mil sitting around, then shame on them. Any "extra" cash should be applied all around the district not just for Metea. In principle, I agree with you. I was just saying that the referendum language did not prohibit using any other money towards the school either. It was only about selling those bonds and what that money could be spend on. |

A lawsuit against the district is a losing proposition for all but the attorneys. I would know as I am an attorney. If there are true environmental concerns regaring MV that is a completely separate issue than suing over the boundaries. The boundaries are not perfect (or even close) but that is a suit that will never been won. It will only cost everyone money and time. Please tell me that tax dollars which should be going to the schools and our children will not be wasted fighting a lawsuit about the boundaries. I can't even begin to imagine what viable cause of action will be alleged considering the language in the actual referendum. Exactly. Suing ourselves. The best part is getting WE in the paper again. For the record, I know a LOT of people in WE are NOT participating in this lawsuit. It is a group largely uninvolved until the new boundaries were announced. I really try to see the best in people, but I am absolutely ashamed to be neighbors to some of these people. I was at the last HO meeting. The principals are EXTREMELY uninformed, even about things in the paper ad nauseum. I don't recall ONE word about the safety of the site. It is all about going to the old school; not the perceived "best". I heard the TG HOA President will be there. I can't wait to hear what happens. Wish I wasn't sick as a dog! |

Unfortunately I had a prior commitment tonight and could not attend. Actually, off to commitment #2 presently.
I would be very interested in both opinionated and unopinionated accounts of the meeting.

Sushi You should be careful about what you throw out as truth. The TG HOA President is sitting at home right now and did NOT attend tonight's meeting. Call her if you don't believe this to be true. PM me if you'd like her phone number. Quit jumping to conclusions. Shame on you! BTW, what difference does it make? There are obviously many upset residents in many communities. |

Not to be argumentative, but providing a comprehensive third high school and a 7th middle school in 2009 is not the polar opposite of what was marketed or voted on. Now you and I both know (regardless of what we feel personally) that if that were true the boundaries would never had been brought up by the board before the vote. The community absolutely was lead down a path with the boundaries used as the carrot. I can understand their frustration. I understand their frustration, I really do. Do you think the board really thought they would lose BB? Do you think it was bait and switch, truly? These people are our neighbors. All that is past, the question I have for the frustrated is "now what?" What would a lawsuit accomplish besides squishing our kids together for another year? Do they really think the boundaries will be addressed again? This is a legal way to punch the board in the face, nothing more. It is a further waste of our money as taxpayers. |
