Here is exactly what was going to happen when the people in this town kept turning down the consolidated school referendum. If it had passed how ever many years ago the schools would already be being built and the older schools could close. I used to live in a town that already had the consolidation and no matter what everyone believes IT IS A GOOD IDEA. Now the students and teachers will have to continue to deal with the problems the old buildings are having. The bussing situation that the consolidation causes is minor compared to the advantages. First the buses only have to go to one central location. They are running around our huge school district already. What would the taxpayers rather pay for: the patch that fixing the old schools will create or something that once built will long outlast their lifetimes? It is a simple answer as far as I'm concerned

i guess it helps to be simple minded.

Ever hear of the KISS method? Alot of times the simplest solution is the best one. Anyway, continue to patch the problem. My children are at the high school now where the building is up to code not up to 1960s codes. In a few years I can start thinking like everyone else in this town where it isn't my problem and patch it up to let the next generation be the ones to worry about it. I'm sorry but these are our children. We should want them to be in buildings where they spend a third of their young lifes to be built to code and safe. If that is being simple minded then I am proud to say it I'M SIMPLE MINDED.
