Dr. Holloway,
I just wanted to send a quick letter to sincerely thank you for the time I was afforded to speak before the board on Wednesday regarding the HHH1 project. I appreciate how receptive you and the rest of the board were regarding our concerns.
Dr. Holloway, you in particular seem to have understood that there are significant questions regarding the manner in which the Facilities Planning Office engages the communities in which they propose to develop new schools. This issue of “process” strikes at the very heart of our concerns and, despite assertions made by the Facilities Planning Department that night, we remain discontent with the quality of efforts made to involve our community in the process.
We are troubled by the potential for future impacts to our area in the form of traffic, noise, crime and property values related to HHH1. We fully intend to remain involved in the process going forward. I would respectfully ask that you and other members of the board continue to question the manner by which such site decisions are made, and continue to acknowledge the crucial role residents play in the proper planning of such an effort.
Finally, I would like to invite you and other members of the board to attend the meeting we have convened with the Facilities Planning Office on Wednesday, April 30 at 7:30 pm at Jorge Mas Canosa Elementary, 15735 SW 144 ST.
Warmest Regards,
Larry Perez
