Thoughts on our schools

With no plan that has been made public, we still must continue to ask the question...what is going on with our schools?? Yes, Mr. Hellman this is directed straight at you!!Below are some questions that need to be raised in the near future(ie next board meeting).

1. What is going on with M.R. Reiter?? We can all now assume that the school will never reopen. What is the board waiting for to announce this? Are they waiting till the election is over? Or do they have no plan for this either. Sad, really that this board and previous boards have let this building get into its present state. It would be interesting to see pictures of how this building has deterioted over the years. We have seen pictures of the old high school which Reiter replaced. Does anyone have any pictures of M.R. Reiter when it was "new"?

2. When will the "emergency powers" that this board has end?

3. We hear Mr. Hellman all the time saying we need to be more effiecient. What green initiatives does the board have for our two remaining schools, other than new energy effiecient lights and windows.

4. With the middle/high school set to become the intermediate/high school, let's face it there will be elemantery students in the building. What plans are there to accomodate these students. Things like playground equipment, activities and equipment for outside play, reading materials. Kids need outside recess, the days of spending recess inside a classroom are getting old!
