Now, let's compare that to how the school district decided on a 70 million dollar referendum -- an opportunity that comes along once every 20 years:
- No citizen committee to assess and study the needs of the district
- No surveys for parents, teachers, or citizens
- No research supporting the plan for school district reconfiguration
- No definite plans for a location of the new East side intermediate school
- No joint planning with city council or city officials
- No citizen input regarding plans for school renovation or relocation
- No citizen input in the decisions as to which schools will close or if we should close schools
- No notification sent to citizens, parents, or students, that passing this referendum means closing their neighborhood school.
- No meetings focused solely on which schools to close
- No input from our educators
- No updates to the public when major changes to the "plan" are made
- No meetings for citizen or board input regarding the extremely important referendum wording
