THREE CHEERS...

... for our many residents who made the effort to head downtown for last Wednesday's meeting. It was a looooong night but well worth the time spent! Thanks to all of you for making yourselves heard!

... for Evelyn Greer for recognizing that there are, in fact, viable alternatives for HHH1 that don't necessitate constructing huge schools in the middle of established residential communities. And bravo to her for wisely recommending a review of the 5-year capital plan in light of recent trends in enrollment, population, and the construction of charter schools.

... for Ana Rivas-Logan for her commitment to withhold support for any further capital outlays until such a review of the 5-year plan is made. And kudos to her for reminding the Facilities Planning staff that this is not the first time they've heard backlash from a community because of their disregard for the local residents. Its time for the Facilities Planning department to heed her call for better community involvement from the start!

Hey just to let you know, the 5 year capital plan has to be reviewed every couple of years by law. What you saw was just show boating for the cameras. It is not over yet!

I am with you MIA6722, the stonewood folks got hosed by the board and they are feeling really stoked about it. The process is in place and it cannot be stopped.
Lets start thinking about a Mascot for the football team. Yea team.
