To the editor:
Your recent editorial ……“why” is superb!
I realize you are limited in what can be asked. The following questions occur to me.
• How did the school facilities fall into such poor condition?
• How long have many of these deficiencies been known?
• Where were the deficiencies identified and made public before this report?
• Who is responsible in the chain of authorities and financing that allowed this to happen?
• How is this “new” plan superior to what seems to be working or is it part of what seems to be an educational fad?
• Are the projected costs inclusive of the ongoing cost and life complications of busing hundreds of children miles and minutes longer each day?
• Is the new dazzlingly plan superior only in our imagination?
Reading the ongoing dialog I know many other significant issues exist. Until we know how we arrived at these circumstances little action or decision making seems appropriate.
