West Elk Proposed Additions

[W. Gray]

Here is a drawing of the proposed West Elk school addition that was on page 3 of the Prairie Star this morning.

I have not been further inside than the cafeteria and one of the main hallways but the school has always seemed like a nice building that has been well cared for over the years. These additions would go a long way toward the education of the younger folks in the district in western Elk County and some of Greenwood County.

I am wondering how many forum folks graduated from the high school at this location?

Waldo, the current facility was designed for 300 students and the new addition is needed, from what people in the know tell me.

From an inside source, they are very much needed.

[W. Gray]

This certainly is no Taj Mahal, chuckle.

The School Superintendent made it quite clear during a School Board Meeting and told 600 the School Board Members that the present was desgned for 600 children. Is he lying to the School Board?

Please who are these people in the know that are telling you that?



Where did you come up with 300?

[Ross]

From an inside source, they are very much needed.

What inside source?

Why is this need being kept secret from the voting public?

Something sounds awful fishy.

[Ross]

This is a political topic which seems to be over looked just like the last one the owners moved to the political section.

This deals with voter issues because taxpayers money is involved and elected officials as well.

You brought up the article in the newspaper pertaining to addressing the voters.

Pretty simple isn't it. Why hide in the Coffee Shop?

[Ross]

This certainly is no Taj Mahal, chuckle.

The point of a Taj Mahal is building wastfully by adding construction to a building that is designed for 600 students when you only have 319 students, that number was recently revised to 340 students in the recently published School Board Minutes in today's newspaper.

I am happy to see they are writing more into the minutes of the meeting than they have been. The Minutes are a bit more informative. Good Job!

The school thing is nothing new - it's just another deal like Obamacare and the more progressive ideas and programs for government to control people.  Education has
conditioned generations to idolize the government and its power instead of protecting and respecting individual liberty.  Whether its Obama or the Republicans, its all socialism and tyranny.   


And of all the great advances proclaimed by progressives over a century and a half, from free schooling to Social Security, Obamacare looks like it will eventually be ranked among the last — and the least.

I wonder how many of you nay sayers know that the grade school children have to go outside in all kinds of weather just to use the bathroom.  How many of you know that at least one of the grades has had to be divided because of it's size and a part of it uses part of the library as a classroom?  Just how much do any of you know about actual conditions at the school?
