Community Input for Capital Projects
August 31, 2010
Special Called Board Meeting
Work Study Session
- Would
like clear cut information on Five Year Plan put on the website
within a couple of days
- Would
like to see Jackson Middle School as a priority in the Five
Year Plan
- Appreciated
the District going forward with the districts school needs
without waiting for another bond referendum
- Act
388 is the School District’s problem
- School
District needs to make its collective voice heard in Columbia
- What
are you as a board doing to encourage businesses, parents
and students to contribute to capital projects/needs of the
schools?
- Consider
building the new Operations Center on land already owned by
the school district for cost savings
- The
district needs to simplify the plans so that the average citizen
can understand what the district’s needs are, in order
for the citizens to support you
- You
need to give the community more time to review the five year
plan and you need to change the 5 minute rule you have for
someone to speak to the board during the board sessions/meetings
- Board
members need to be in the community more in order to hear
what citizens are saying
- There
is too much government in our school system making the rules
for how the district can spend the money. As long as you have
government the school system it will never run the way they
should.
- I
appreciate the fact that consideration was given to NEMS in
the Five Year Plan. We do not want our school closed; I like
the idea of K-8th at NEMS, if our staff and teachers were
kept.
- What
is an Operation Center? I agree that you need to be more open
with the community and to communicate to us what you want
and why you want it, more effectively. Education is important
for the kids so educate us so we can help you.
- Have
more input meetings regarding the Five Year Plan
- I
am confused by the way you conduct your meetings
- Be
better with the money you have
- Be
more creative in the bid process
- I
don’t understand why you had to build a new Byrd school
when it is now being used for adult education and special
programs. Why is it usable for those folks and not for students?
