It would have been a totally different kind of high school. Anyway it's too late now. True, though I suppose it would have cost more. And it certainly would have been better next to a forest preserve than a series of environmental troubles. |

No environmental troubles have been PROVEN yet, though it appears a few people are really, really hoping to see some. |

Since that's most likely where my kids are headed, I'd really like it to be safe. Since that really is going to be the site they build on, I almost would rather bury my head in the sand and pretend it's completely safe, even if it turns out it isn't. Seriously. |

What do you define as safe? Or better yet what do you define as unsafe?
We know for instance, the SD has chosen a site that sends more kids over RR tracks. We all cross tracks. One can certainly cross tracks safely.
But crossing tracks twice a day puts you at greater risk of a train accident than not crossing any tracks. So is that less safe? Statistically yes, but is it unsafe?

I don't consider RR tracks an issue.
Students from GTN, Gom, and McC area cross those tracks to get to both ES and MS. If it is safe enough for our children all these years, it must be safe for the rest of the district.
There are also students traveling to WV crossing the same RR tracks. Once again, there are many safety issues to consider but this is not one, IMO.

I merely used it as a simple example of a safety issue we all share.
My point is not about RR tracks, but more a defintion of "unsafe". I see it in the "eye of the beholder"

Just post the reports on the website. That would end any and all speculation. At the meeting it was stated that safety was the #1 priority. So why publish financials and boundaries and all of the other secondary stuff first? |

That would end any and all speculation. I am not speculating, you are. I am satisfied with the summary the district reported and am awaiting the results of the Midwest Gen phase 1 and 2, as well will be satisfied with a summary. File a FOIA request. That would end your speculating. |

There seem to have a wide range of concerns floating around and I can't keep up with all of them. |

That is where we differ.
I'm not satisfied with two bullet points on a powerpoint slide stating that the building site and athletic fields are within "safe" readings. What are the readings and what about between the fields?
