A vert nice job on the website. Could we include an area of the parking area next to Broad St. that has running water and electricity ? We could have our Car Wash fundraisers and other small events there.
I have to say that I am disappointed with the renovation plans. Primarily, I think that a “make-over” of the old building is a big mistake, especially when I hear that trashing the neighborhood for parking lots is in the plan, that there still is no campus to speak of. Another over-sized big box in the middle of town. Ugh. Uninspiring and unattractive.
A new high school facility in a new location is what would better inspire students, parents, community members, and potential new residents and businesses. I still wish that this were the solution we have in mind.
I am also amazed and disappointed that there seems to be only a vague idea at this point about how much of this cost will be provided by the state, if any at all. This is pretty shakey financial ground to be so far along in the process. How can the state threaten the loss of accreditation and at the same time be so vague on their commitment to help to create a better facility?
When will the “Claremont decision” ever result in more fair property taxes and high quality education for our city? How much longer will our state leaders continue to push this issue aside? It is so disappointing to watch Hanover build a brand new middle school and a major renovation to their high school recently as we continue to sputter along — making do with our antique, inadequate buildings.
Wow! This blog is up and running so quickly–just a day after the School Building Committee meeting when it was mentioned. Good, Don!
Thank you Bernie. The web is a great tool for information!
