It was great to see the action of the Board on Tuesday to enhance the athletic facilities across the District which will not only benefit our students but also the community as a whole. As part of the adopted plan we will see the replacement of 3 swimming pools, artificial turf on all of our HS campuses, standardization of tennis courts, and a few other miscellaneous projects. Wow!!
Some might ask, how can we spend $20+ million during a time when the state does not have a budget and our resources are shrinking, etc? GREAT question!! The fact is that these are bond and redevelopment funds that have been raised in this community to SPECIFICALLY address capital facilities needs. By law, they can only be spent on the type of project that has been identified above -- NOT on normal operational expenses and salaries.
Dr. Miller- I just wanted to say thank you so much for continuing to BLOG over the summer. At times it seems as though it is difficult to stay up to date on all that is happening in our district being that we are so large. I appreciate you keeping us in the know by continuing to blog on nearly a daily basis. I find your BLOG's to be informative and often answer my "but why" questions.
