Vote on New High School

As most of you probably already know, the sub-committee voted on the 9th Grade Campus vs. a New High School campus at the last meeting. The vote was 123-24 in favor of a new High School. We still have a lot of work to do on the sub-committee and I hope the large attendance does not disappear now that the vote has been taken.

There still may be a push by certain sub-committee members to include an option for a 9th grade campus in our proposal. The way the issue was worded prior to the vote did not indicate that it would be possible but stranger things have happened.

There is clear support by a "vast" majority of sub-committee members, and I believe in the community as well for a new High School. We CANNOT give the Steerring Committee and Board an option. It is true, they still can change our proposal before it gets to a bond election, but we cannot give them the opportunity to say that a 9th grade campus was a solution we supported.
