MORE CONFUSION...

Visiting the "Imagine Beloit" website can leave a person more confused that ever. Obviously the designers of the website are getting their information, or misinformation, from Mr. McNeal. We can't fault them. After all, they can only work with what is available, and unfortunately, what is available is all very confusing and inconsistent -- definitely not what we would expect to see just 6 weeks before election day.

Regarding the site of the new intermediate school on "Imagine Beloit" website, we read the following conflicting posts, and we're not sure what to believe:

"Where will the schools be?
Only one school will be in a different site and that is the new Southeast Intermediate School. We have land options and should have this secured soon. Our hope is that it is on Hwy 81 near the current site of Morgan that we will showcase a new school for the community, attracting those traveling into our city."

           But then we read this ....
 
"Are Morgan and Cunningham definitely the schools targeted for new buildings, 
 and Burdge and McLenegan for closing
 Nothing is set in stone quite yet, but these schools make the most sense. Morgan and Cunningham have the most green space to expand into an intermediate school (and would be rebuilt as new buildings per architect recommendations)...." 

So, one is left confused, wondering where in the world the new school is going to be located -- the current Morgan site, or a new location.  And if that isn't confusing enough, Have a look at these two conflicting posts: 

 "Why are you aiming for 440 students per primary school?
This is based on research (see research sources below) that gives a range of 300 to 500 students as appropriate for school groupings. Our proposal of 440 would keep our learning communities together at grade levels, and also be large enough to allow us flexibility with our staff in order to save money."

         versus....

"The new school will house grades 4 – 8 and will have around 660 students."

What are we to believe? Why is everything so confusing and ambiguous? Beloit, we are talking about 70 million dollars here. Let's get it right!
