Congratulations to Dick & Milissa

Well, the election is over for now. Our candidate's Woulfe & Hamann are going to go onto the big election day that will soon be upon us.

I hope everyone takes the time to really look at these two. The amount of time and dedication they both put in researching and providing the "true" numbers and stats is what this school district needs. With this school study project really taking all kinds of turns we need people like these two to sort it all out. I am amazed that this firm hired to look into this has basically said we need 30-40 million dollars worth of remodeling and or building. I am not convinced.

I have read on the Observer a comment about if this firm Plunket and something or other is going to do more that just do this study. That is, will they be the ones we use if something is built or remodeled? Well, I believe they will. Should the district have had someone else to do a study? What about our own people from within or in the district? I am sure there are many people that are well qualified that could have assisted. The district is always having public committee's doing one thing or another such as the budget process this year. Why not this study?

Twenty four thousand dollars was spent by this school district to have the study done. Money that I believe was not well spent. The study pointed out many issues that could and probably were already on the minds of the staff and others. I still can't believe that this study says a classroom needs to be such and such a size. My goodness, classes have been held in all of our schools for years and everything seemed to be just fine. Now Plunket says they are too small. I never have seen anything like this.

People, you need to pay close attention to this issue and become involved. This is your school district and money. You need to let the board members know what you think.

You need board members like Dick and Milissa to help a couple of the other board members keep things in check.
