The first week of school brought us a dangerous traffic situation at both schools and construction apparently taking place during school hours. As parents, it's not asking much to address these issues. The traffic situation needs to be addressed. Whether it is staggered starting times, different drop off points for certain grades, police presence for directing traffic both on Palmer St., and Grandview Ave. And a presence of aides and administration ensuring an orderly drop off/pick up. Please do something.
On the renovation front, parents were promised at the last board meeting that construction would not take place during school hours. Yet on the first day, a class had to be moved so that new windows could be installed. Unacceptable. To the board and administration, please don't let this happen again.
To the board majority...aren't you tired of damage control? Since the explosion at M.R. Reiter, that's all you guys have been doing. You created the current mess by voting to cram kids in trailers and a high school not designed for younger students. That is a fact, that not even P.W. can spin in a positive light. Last we heard she was still looking for the LGI room. Some of you(Hellmann, Mihok, Radosti) even voted against hiring a 4th kindergarten teacher. Luckily Bill Farrell saw the light, and Jack Buckman, up for reelection , made a rare vote against his "stay on track" friends. Bill Hellmann even said "we are not obligated to provide Kindergarten" Is this your next area of savings Mr. Hellmann? Keep this in mind folks...the "stay on track" team was voted into office because the town did not want a new school. Fine.. Now that the new school is dead, and there are no plans by anyone to resurrect this venture, they(stay on track) have no plan and are only concerned with one thing...lowering taxes. This venture has created the mess we are all dealing with day in and day out. "Staying on track" is not in Morrisville's best interest.
